Do you like the 1218 Steam Train???
Yes, of course! Together with the Y-6 this is the best quality articulated ever built!
1218 N&W - First off—>[#welcome].
I had the pleasure of riding behind the 1218 from Richmond to Roanoke back in the late 80’s (right after the rebuild). It had a distinctive sound, and a real moan to it’s whistle. Too bad there are no Graham Claytors in the NS hierarchy any more.[:(]
1218 is amazing…I heard they wanted to put it behind the O Winston Link museum but there was’nt the room.
I Have the Video and that is the ONLY ONE I WATCH!!!
Which video?
Extreme Steam 1218 N&W Do you have it to!!![?]
One of my all time favorites. I would like it more if it were still running.
What Happened to the 1218 N&W?[?]
Sitting near the 611 in Roanoke.
What a waste of two of the finest steam locomotives ever built and rebuilt. Being from Pennsylvania, I still hold onto the possibility (dream) of them pulling horseshoe curve.
If NS only had the operating mentality of UP.
What did they do with the 1218 N&W???[?]
Who do you mean with “they” and what do you mean with “what did they do”? Do you could tell us your age? Do we have to do with a little Newbie?
What does that mean??? I’m 10 and I love trains!!![soapbox]
I’m not sure what that meant either.
I believe it is in the Virginia Museum of Transportation.
