It is a well done video on 493's break in run and first revenue run after recently completed repairs.]]> guymonmd Narrow Gauge Discussion Forum Sat, 19 Sep 2026 20:07:57 -0600 https://ngdiscussion.net/phorum/read.php?1,489519,489519#msg-489519 https://ngdiscussion.net/phorum/read.php?1,489519,489519#msg-489519
Several other items bothered me. He received a cab ride from Osier to Sublette based on only the conductor’s approval. Isn’t that something that management should be aware of and approve for insurance and other reasons, for example?

Finally, he uses music that is not credited, a song maybe by Dolly Parton? Other members on this forum credit music used in their videos.

Am I being picky? Yes, maybe too much. I enjoy the videos but have a personal bias against joining any social media (Faceplant, Instasomething, YT, etc.) so avoid the hoards that give comments there. Here the word Bosen used to identify a docent brought me to highlight this video. Maybe someone with a YT account can give Mr. Mainline some critical feedback.

Bender). I believe, especially since we only know the earliest possible year of Model-T it could've been, this vehicle could be rebuilt. I believe this would be an interesting vehicle to build, as well as adding to the pool of 3ft motors that exist, and a fairly simple-to-build and easy-to-store vehicle compared to a steam locomotive. It would also bring back, or recreate, a small piece of the Uintah's history, as well as the history of Western Colorado and Eastern Utah.

Just thought I should post here beforehand to see what people in the community would think if I were to rebuild this motor. I likely won't be starting this possible project for a few years due to college and other obligations.

I attended the last member meeting a month ago. The future of Goose 5 running on guest railroads is NOT a given. Running her on guest railroads is not part of the mission statement of the Galloping Goose Historical Society. If you wish to ride on Goose 5, this might be a good time to be sure it will be a part of your memory.

The commission meetings over the last year have detailed progress of building a new one. The last meeting reported that things were underway. On my way home, I verified that report. The foundation was poured. Last Friday (9/11), the floor was poured. 12 trucks of concrete arrived Cumbres to do the job.

[attachment 104726 IMG_0164.jpg]

The forms are 4 feet tall. The perimeter foundation is over 3 feet tall, and from memory, about 18 inches wide. I failed to get a photo of just the foundation concrete. It is serious. I rode the train Wednesday 9/9. As I returned to Chama, I noticed metal stuff on a couple of flat carts. It quickly dawned on me what I just saw. The pavilion building kit. My friend suggested to me that was a great way to haul the building up to the pass. The crane needed to erect the building would have an easier reach to the flat cars than reaching over to an 18 wheeler with that material. Plus, getting an 18 wheeler up there would be tricky. Additionally, the flat cars could be moved to and fro as the unloading required. The last meeting reported the new building will be ready to go for next year. Looks to be true. I rather hope the new building gets a major stress test of snow this winter. For what I have seen so far, the new building will be fine. After my travels around CO this late summer, things are VERY dry.]]> Sam Seiber Narrow Gauge Discussion Forum Fri, 18 Sep 2026 20:38:13 -0600
