@jonesthesteam I don't actually know. I am in the south of England though, and it is quite possible it goes there often for events. :)

@@SteamPowerMadness I think it is because I have seen it there a lot.

@jonesthesteam Yeah, quite possible. I don't know 🤣

@jonesthesteam Yeah, the McLarens tend to be a little larger than most others. This one is an 8nhp, built in 1910.

@@SteamPowerMadness I drove Boadicea which is often doing heavy haulage

@jonesthesteam Yeah, my friend drove that at the Welland rally. Looks a lovely engine from what I've seen of it, though I haven't done anything with it yet.

@@SteamPowerMadness It’s a great engine. It was one of the most powerful engines that I have driven. I had a ride in a Sentinel steam wagon last weekend which was a very powerful engine but the boiler is in the centre of the footplate so it was a strange ride compared to others that I have had.

@@jonesthesteam Hah, that's why I personally prefer the look of Foden's and Clayton's! :D (Plus I love exposed valve gear)

Make friends with an engine owner, and you'll be doing this a lot. Enjoy it if you do!

I will be making a new engine soon, as I am suddenly getting loads of tutorial requests. I will try and make that a tutorial.

​​@@SteamPowerMadnessmany thanks to you....next time maybe about diy compressor from dc motor small pump thanks

OK. I will try to make a tutorial, but it will not be the same as this engine, as I have long since taken it apart.

​@@SteamPowerMadness thank, what i like this slow run but large torque.. even with low ...psi .that's all about

​@@SteamPowerMadnessi have only 2 large cylinder left (V2type)

If you want torque, you're much better off with a 2 cylinder. The engine I built here (and all of my engines in fact) is/are very low power.

​@@SteamPowerMadnessstill can't find a smooth run with a larger cylinder than yours...there must be a different proporsional setting with a larger cylinder....

Afraid not, but it does look cool! (It does fly if I throw it, I have intentionally crashed it before)

Thanks, but I can't really make instructions. I don't have the pieces to make a second, and disassembling this one would mean it would never be rebuilt properly. Thank you for your support though, I appreciate it! :)

Wow, that must've been an amazing experience!

You need a very heavy flywheel with high gearing. Also, I have put oil in the cylinder and valve, and cut friction tabs in the valve too. That said, it could be that I was pumping it fast

possible without modifying the cylinder I don’t wanna damage it

If you gear the flywheel high enough, yes it is possible in theory

It is the rear wheel from the 42000 "Grand Prix Racer" Technic set

@@SteamPowerMadness thanks

alr im sorry @@SteamPowerMadness

Ikr

I am not sure. We bought our's second hand, and the only way to check (that I know of) is to ask the seller.

Yes. We bought it in the back of a 1992 Ford Cardinal hearse as a bit of fun 😅. Look up "DEAD QUICK Hearse" on RU-vid for more. The other videos are before we owned it though.

@@SteamPowerMadness would i be able to private message you somewhere?

​@@PyroLukeUkDo you mind telling me why, I'm not against it just curious

@@SteamPowerMadness so i was looking into putting one in my boat. But ive measured up this evening and the engine may be slightly too big. But any contacts or info is always useful when building something crazy haha

​@@PyroLukeUkIf you give me your email, we could message each other that way, if that works?

I am trying to post videos frequently

I used RC car shock oil, but most oils will work. Just check they won't damage the parts
