Welcome to video number 31 in a series that will chart the scratch building of a Gauge 1 live steam Great Western Railway Prairie Tank locomotive. These videos will aim to give some insight of not only the assembly of the locomotive but also how individual parts are produced.

Hi David, What a pleasant surprise finding someone building gauge one locomotives. I happen to live in South Wales and I believe I'm the only person building gauge one in S Wales these days.When I retired I was very lucky meeting Derick Goodall ( Goodall valve fame) who in his words gave me an introduction into engineering gauge 1 and so far Iv'e built a GW Pannier tank Gas fired, Black 5 spirit, The Snapper (Green Arrow) coal fired. So you can understand how pleased I am to subscribe to your channel and learn even more about the hobby. Best wishes Jeff.

Hello Jeff, Many thanks for your kind words. Good to hear there are other builders out there. The Prairie Tanks were very a common sight in your part of the world back in the day. If you are a member of G1MRA or a member of the Gauge One Facebook page you can see and read quite a lot going on in Gauge One.

Question for you, did you scale down a 3 1/2" model? Having difficulty finding plans for gauge 1 items. Thank you.

@@stevenaegele5228 I got some G1 drawings from Reeves 2000. Although they are very basic. There are lot's of gaps in the detail that you have to figure out for yourself.

@@GroveDave Thank you, I'll check them out.

@stevenaegele5228 Год назад

@@GroveDave In your opinion, would scaling down 3 1/2" scale drawings in half be the same or not? I have access to those. Thank you.

Another great video David. I have made a similar video a few months ago on my youtube channel making a spirit tank for a tender but your tank engine looks more challenging with less space to work with. Looking forward to seeing your next video.

Many thanks, it certainly is a squeeze building a tank locomotive. I have mentioned a couple of times during these videos. The original drawings I have contain very little fine detailed information. Not enough to build a finished loco. So since the very first couple of videos I have been relying on details and adapting from previous designs from my other loco builds.
