Fitting the Slide Bars (MrCrispin's Locomotive Build) 

Hot diggity dog!! He's back on the locomotive....been waiting a long time for this day!! I even left work early...lol. Great to see you Mr. Crispin. Cheers!!

Welcome back, you have been missed greatly👍🏻

Good evening Mr Crispin 🤠 always a pleasure watching your videos 👍🏻

Delightful use of the surface table Mr. Crispin .......Mesmerising !

GREAT to see you back. Hello from Brisbane, Australia!

Been a couple of years of waiting, but well worth it. Good to see you back, especially on yhe locomotive!

Forgot to tighten the vise? Never happened to me... well...

Glad to see you back in the workshop. I hope your schooling went well and all is good at RR.

Very nice to see you again.

bloody good show!!!!

Great to see you back with another video....There is a lot of fiddly jiggery involved in this process for sure.

Thank you Mr Crispin. Worth waiting for an excellent instructional video.

Always good to watch Mr C.

Mr CRISPIN Great to see you back working on the loco. Bfn

Always nice to see and enjoy a new Crispin video. Hopefully things have calmed down at RR and you will have more time fun projects.

Great to see another informative video on 5 inch loco building. Greetings from Bribie Island near Brisbane Australia.

Lovely job!

Good show 😊😊😊

Great that you continue with the locomotive. I've waited for that a long time.

Welcome back, and nice work around!

Thank you!

And how many takes were taken before the hat behaved?

Thankyou for picking the loco build up again. I do like the process and how you explain it. Have a great day....

Always looking forward to a new video. Made my evening tonight! Respect from across the pond.

Now there is a man well older than his actual age

Yes! He’s back!

Wow, the precision needed for this is amazing. I would have thought a .001 would be no big deal. Look forward to the next video.

Jolly good video Old Chap! Good to see you back on the "air". I like your dedication to precision. KOKO!

Coming along nicely. Liked the recap tips, but for me another great take-away was leaving on some extra material for a true up operation later. Can't wait for the next video on this build.

It may take 30 years but this'll be the most well-engineered model locomotive the world have ever seen. It's a shame you will run it as all those perfectly made surfaces and components will invariably be ruined through wear!

nice jb.

Impressive accuracy.

Nice FP1 you have there. I'm a proud owner of one myself! I'm here living in Buffalo NY and need to find a way to lock the spindle so i can use the power feeds to indicate parts without it running and turning my dial indicator,any ideas would be greatly appreciated! And if you have figured out a way to hook up a rpm sensor to the spindle wound be great! Love watching your vids with the fp1, i learn something new everyday!!!

Woohoo! Caught it quickly!

Got there in the end Crispin. Now I have said this before but here it is again, RETIRE the hat throwing lark, been going on too long now, it's Old Hat 🙂 it has run the course. Time for a new gimmik if you still want to do one. Regards from Australia.

Never underestimate the value of the Mk-1 eyeball. ⭐🙂👍

Nice to see you back Crispin. The last time was at Mach 2024. Excellent work as usual, and nice recovery on the slight error. Looking forward to the next stage of the build. Take care. ATB Nobby

What an absolute treat! Thank you Mr. Crispin. Fascinating, informative, and enjoyable.

Welcome back. I know your cylinder blocks are fully machined but shouldn't you be aligning the slide bars with the bores rather than the outside geometry?

Cool braces.

he is back !!!

Wonderful to see you’ve got back onto the Locomotive Sir and one mustn’t forget Sherry oclock goes afterwards indeed, A delight and joy to watch and I presume you’ve taken my advice on making tea Sir , kindest regards Jefferson and the new position is going well so far , I await more marvels and advancements on the locomotive side .

Fascinating Mr.C., I enjoyed your explanation of the precision setups and the tiny adjustments to make it perfect and keep it that way. It seems a lot simpler at the end, and I wonder how I would have approached this problem with ny lesser experience etc. A truly fine job and fitment, cheers!

Great to see you back Crispin. Gives me an excuse to stick the headphones on while the other half is watching a movie on the tellybox. Rather looking forward to watching this one.

Welcome back always seem to learn something each time I watch your videos. Take care.

Glad you’re back on the build! I look forward to next weeks episode 😉

As always, I love your approach to these videos. I miss working precision metal as I am slugging my way through a new timber frame shop and moving machines. Cant wait to get back at it. Until then, its videos like these that satisfy ones machine addiction. Keep up the good work.

Good progress and very enjoyable to watch, well done!! The colour of your brothers teeth with that brush!! Look forward to the next one. All the best

hahaa - i was just wondering about this project. another great video, thank you!

Mr crispin just a thought but if the bolt which fouls the cylinders is on the inside I would countersink and put a flush bolt

Welcome back Mr Crispin. And who hasn't remembered to tighten the vice at least once in their career.

It became a rare pleasure to watch new videos on your channel. I wouldn't refuse to see new ones more frequently.

Always heartening to see progress on the engine build, gives me hope I'll finish my own!

Well I never thought I’d see the day a Mr crispin rr video would happen

Nice to see you back , those Kerry super 8 pillar/ bench drills are stupendous .

Nice video as always.... but little to rare... 😅😅 You always make me remember for more precision work... 🫣🤭

Thanks for a great video. I learn something new each time 😊

Good to see your brothers toothbrush featuring again….

Great exercise in setting up and a small brain fart but all is well Mr Crispin.👍👍

Seems your always close to the Z height limit on that Deckel …. Is their no option for a raising block perhaps? Good to see your back anyhow.

Back on the Loco. Good to see you Mr.!

Should selling uneven parallels be illegal ? If I bought a set could I adjust them myself.

Have you ever said; Do you work for RR the auto manufacturer or RR the jet engine company?

It's the suspenders... That add to the suspense !😮

Oi mate! Ya got a loicense fer dat?

Mr Crispin your doing it again, at 4-00 your trying to eye ball it & your 80 microns out before using indicator, just put the spirit level on it,then clock it as you say, you won't be far out if any, ( I take it your machine is level) enjoy your videos always looking forward to a new one, from Coventry 🇬🇧👍.

Wow! I’d almost forgotten about your locomotive build 🤔🙂👍🇳🇱

Welcome back.

Are you going to be able to get a wrench (with > 60° of motion) on the captive bolt? You might need to drill it and use a tiny pin spanner.

Mr Crispin needs a blue shop coat for merchandise… just make it with the hat instead of rolls Royce.

Holy s**t! He's back!

Hi Crispin from Australia, I might have missed previous steps...however...are slide bars now parallel in two planes to the external datum surfaces of the "cylinder blocks"....but not necessarily the piston bores...? ...or did you establish accurate alignment of the bores to those external datums in a previous operation (video)... Cheers from Rodders in Melbourne Melbourne

Thanks for sharing

Well done Cris!

Could your radius filing have created a minute burr to kick-up one of the slides 6 thou out of parallel ?

... nice ...

Is that a Jones and Shipman sensitive drill hiding behind the normal sized pillar drill?

👍😎

what are you doin messin with some "thou's"??.. I thought you guys used M&M's..??
