This series must be the best explained restoration by far and the use of blue prints in an easy to understand way, looking forward to the next episode.
I may not be interested in steam engines, but i am interested in engineering/restoration videos. This has got to be the clearest and most easily understood example of that genre. The narrator doesnt add fluff and nonsense, he explains with the use of blueprints whats going on and where it is. This is a criminally under subscribed youtube channel.
After a Bad Day on the Shop, when nothing goes like should.... a video like this, makes you believe everythings possible, and reachable..... Great work!!!!!!
👍👌👏 Simply fantastic again and as always. Very well done again (video and work). Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all of you.
Hello there. It's nice to see progress. I know I am pushing you a little bit, but there was quite a long gap between last episode. Anyway, yes I am happy to see new video.
The amount of thought which is going into this restoration is sublime. I liked the outcome of the machining of the square replacement cap on the weight shaft, and when it does look too new, just bash it with a hammer 🤣. The loco is going to turn out better than when it was built, on a sugar mill in Indonesia she would perhaps had operated for another 25 years with those parts in the state before you refurbished them.
Funny, people refer to blueprints, we always called this particular drawing the G.A., General Assembly drawing. There would be other drawings, detail drawings of particular obscure assemblys, and of course detailed drawings, dimensioned, for the manufacture of each item, including a materials list, as all steels are not created equal! For instance those load bearing pins and bolts I would imagine are EN16 or EN24 steel. Good work tho, looking forward to the next episode.
Fantastic as always!! And the big pin on the equaliser bar has given me an idea on how to make a pin on my Tinkerbell build!! Brilliant series, thanks to everyone on the restoration, keep up the good work. All the best, Matt
Thank you so much for taking us along! I've been working on designing my own locomotive for live steam and understanding the equalizing system has been a challange. Your explanation of the brackets and hangers has been a great help!
hello, excellent work! Even for me, who doesn't understand the language 100 percent, the pictures are explanation enough. I look forward to more videos about the locomotive.
Good to see there are some, prepared to put in the MONEY., time and effort. A commodity in short supply here in Rockhampton, Qld, Australia. Mate and I, have been trying to just get a boiler inspection done, on a Marshall Steam Roller, 61/2 ton, belonging to the Council. We know what needs to be done, but need the Boiler Inspectors "Authority" to do it. Hence "Approval" down the track. Both in our later tears ( mistyped tears, mean Years, but it seems more correct) of "doing stuff". No one is interested, cares, or could just give a shit.
