Must be great to have one of these fine engines. Keep having fun with it as I do with my little Mamod. (gotta start somewhere !).

It's there to catch the inevitable drips from the smoke box. It may be smoke tight, but it's unlikely to be water tight.

Good little engine! Seems to have a good draw on it! Takes a lot of coal too!

Beautiful

Pure poetry in motion 👌👏👏👍😀

I'm just starting, I'm on my second stationary engine and the bug has bit, my goal eventually is something like this wonderful example, thanks for the video

The chimney extension is a length of Aluminium log burner flu. Most engines in this scale use them to draw the fire when lighting from cold

@@mattseymour8637 Coal firing a traction engine at 1" scale (loco at 3.5" scale) is more about 'authenticity' than practicality. The size of the lumps of coal is extremely important and difficult to get just right. Gas or even spirit (meths) can raise steam just as well without all the mess of coal and ash. I've seen 2" vertical boiler steam lorries run on gas very successfully. Even my 3" Aveling & Porter has a small fire hole, so many lumps of coal just won't go through without modification - hitting with a lump hammer! You can find the video of my first (far less successful) steaming here kzread.info/dash/bejne/g3eopqOzlqzNcsY.html For some reason it always starts well into the video, but you can easily drag the video back to the start if you're a masochist! I'll be putting more videos on my channel as they come available. I have a few smaller models to steam up and even 2 I've never lit before!

@@amanofmanyparts9120 thanks for the advice very useful. So do you recommend smaller pieces like grain size?

@amanofmanyparts9120

4 жыл бұрын

@Matt Seymour. Definitely not. That size will either put the fire out or burn way too hot. There's no middle ground. I think the correct size is called 'peanut' and is pretty much available only from miniature steam suppliers. Almost no main coal suppliers bother with it as the market is tiny.

What coal do you use?
