Check this out! It was built as a replica using 1880's blueprints and is kept in Clarksburg, WV. I'll have to go see this thing sometime. I've always wanted to see a prototype for Randy's Climax in operation, but none exited to my knowledge. This replica is a fine example of one of the earliest Climax's built. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_Jt5WQnwxU
He's used chain drive in a couple places instead of gears, but it's appropriately sized and is the only thing like it out there that I have seen.
There is ringing in my ears . The bell ringer at the end had one nice leg . Oddly I expected some chuffin' . Glad Randy got to see it , I was ready to eMail him the link . Thanks for sharing .
Great video of a wonderful loco. What a great "layout" also, imagine having that on your property! Woodie
