I would like to thank you Ollie for making miniature railway videos. This is what got me in to the hobby and have now made a scamp-like loco that runs on 7 1/4 inch gauge. Again a massive thank you and will continue to support you in the future. 😀
We have just got a part built O1 at our Reading Society Auction. Air running Chassis Tender frames and a boiler. Just doing a mad rush to get her complete. Model Engineers Laser tender body kit and masses of off the shelf fittings. Love your video. David and Lily.
Always look forward to another Wardle Road 5" gauge video. :) I've just built my first 5" gauge turnout. Lacking some of the equipment that would make doing that easier, I adopted an idea I'd noticed from some of your videos of Brent's line - namely using thinner bar stock for constructing the frog and point blades. Much easier to work with for my particular situation.
You bought yourself a cracking loco there, I love how it looks. I can confirm that injectors, and especially the lifting type, doesn't like warm water. I have been fireman on a preserved Swedish 0-8-0 which had lifting injectors, with hot summer weather sometimes they wouldn't start and cooling the body down by pouring buckets of water over them was the way to get them started, with an enclosed cab this would turn the cab in a Swedish sauna!
Glad you like the loco! As the water comes form the tender, so far I havnt had an issue with them picking up! The axle pump does a pretty good job at keeping the water topped up too! 🙂
Very nice Ollie. Very interesting indeed. It looks like a lot of fun, especially the 2-8-0 there. Sounds great. We miss the 12.5inch railway a guy used to run near-by our village. Always a huge draw in the summer. Keep Well and Keep Safe. Cheers!
Wow, what a beautiful loco. If you ever do a full restoration on that in the future, you must film it step by step. I for one would be very interested to watch a series like that. Very nice.
Hi ya Ollie. Sorry I missed the live show. Beautiful new loco. The UK weather always makes me laugh. Beautiful and sunny, with clear skies. And then cloudy and threatening skies. Summertime in the UK. Lol. Enjoy the rest of your summer. Hello Tian. Take care. Bye.
Glad you enjoyed it, the weather is so unpredictable. Unfortunately you just have to have your fingers crossed on a running day for good weather! Hopefully catch you in the next live chat whenever that is! take care mate
Hey Ollie, sorry I missed the premiere as I was at work so I have finally got to watch the video. What an amazing locomotive in a beautiful livery, love to see it hauling the Pullman coaches. Take care and stay safe :) :) :)
I'm a bit more cheerful. Visit Kelly Ashford Trains to find out why. Hope you enjoy my own steamy train ride behind standard gauge steamy, no. 3802, from Llangollen to Carrog and back. In two parts, that is.
Beautiful locomotive. I am a year behind on vids as im a new follower. Do you own your own railway or run your loco on other private railways? I like the railway in your video
I was down at my local 5" track on Sunday (they give rides round the track to kids) and was wondering how you were getting on. The O1 looks great, I think the last video I watched you were still using the class 20.
Yeah definitely mate I'd love to run my locos down there but just too far away been to Gilling a fair few times and Leyland Cleckheaton is the local haunt for testing and blowing cobwebs off
