Hello everyone!
Here is the result of many, many, many months of planning.
We had originally planned to release this video to celebrate 30K subscribers. And yet, here we are now, and so it feels a little too late to truly celebrate - but here it is, the very long overdue 30K special - will my Ruston 48 fire back up after a year of not running?
A video featuring:
Lawrie - Presenter, excited by the protentional of having his loco back
Matt - Cameraman, willing Lawrie on with sass.
A video edited by Lawrie.

THE IRONY? Yes, many moons ago down in Buckfastleigh. The Chief Engineer came up with rubbing blocks fitted to 4555 and run her up and down to profile the wheels! FAST FORWARD several years and there is the best facility for new rim fitting and re profiling in England where everyone sends their wheels. 36.8 Well done Lawrie. David and Lily deep in 5 inch gauge wheels off various locomotives. And yes we have a battery driven BEAST.

@DanielleWhite 3 года назад

I related to your reaction when it fired up, also the various ones about the electrical. I felt both when I worked on repairing a tractor I loved and that my father had damaged - an Allis Chalmers CA that he had tried to jump start from a late 1980s pickup (6V vs 12V...) I was also nodding knowingly to your grumblings about what it was to work on that. When it came to wrenching on our CA, D17, WD-45, 170 or 175? Easy peasy. The 180? Oh hell no. I'm having to pull the starter was a perfect example - everything with the 180 was a single bolt mount whereas the 180 had a 3 bolt flange and two of those in a convoluted location

@LenKusov 3 года назад

At the 1-year point, that's probably where I'd have gone to a parts store and hunted for a truck starter that's got similar gear teeth and welded up an adapter plate lol Or at least tried bump-starting it with another locomotive, since it's a diesel-mechanical and not hydraulic or electric and that's how all the hand-start locos end up being started anyway Also, I think the "leak" in the rad is probably the drain valve, it's gotten a deep freeze over the last year so the railway probably drained all the radiators that just had water instead of coolant

@andrewthomasfinney752 3 года назад

I might be mistaken but I didn't notice whether the cold start was activated. I used to work on Ruston engines decades ago and in particular the 6VPH in the bigger Hornsby shunters plus the 4YE. I used to have a booklet with all the Ruston engine limits and fits and other critical data. I threw it away when I had a clear to in the 90's!! Would have been some use to enthusiasts that are now running these locos.

I feel this. There are a lot of locos getting round in Australia here with bits of CAN form folded up and stuffed between dash panels and in window latches.
