Cracker Model Live Steam Locomotive. Part 1 Making the Cylinder.
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
The Cracker was designed (not by me) as a very simple live steam loco for 32mm gauge track.
It has an oscillating engine and a geared drive to the wheels and is based on an industrial engine.
It can be customised in many forms. Have a look at this video to see what Tony has done to his. • A pair of Crackers. The red one is twin cylinder version.
I am just going to show how the engine was made in these videos not a complete build. I liked the simple design and how the bottom of the cylinder is extended as a trunk guide.

You continously demonstrate why I still consider your channel to be one of the very best on You Tube. Absolutely brilliant....thankyou.
It seems I learned something new every time I watch your videos. Thank you
Thanks for another neat project. Can't wait to see the finished engine.
wow, always amazing to see you work!
I learn something new each and every time, thank you!
I learn all the time from watching your amazing videos - thanks
Nicely done, love the polishing/grinding stick. Someone can't sleep!
I like the pseudo tail-stock to center the tap. Very innovative (I mean that idea could be 100 years old but new to me!).. Also the solder thinning and cutting of small strips. Again, clever and obviously borne of great experience!

I'm 74 and it was new to me, too! There must be at least 100 times I wish I'd known that technique!
thank you for the new project , there are a lot of viewers who will be very happy to follow you through what looks like an exciting new series cheers

p.s. why don't the idiots that gave the thumbs down , just go and do something else less interesting
Just pleasing to watch you work thanks. Oh at the 5:11 mark I had to laugh because I thought it was mothers chilly kicking in lol.
I enjoy your videos, great work.
Thanks for uploading a new video myford. Another job well done & can't wait for your next video. :)

THANK YOU...for sharing.
Me encanta tu taller.
Ottimi! veramente ingegnosi.
nice job
2:01 the kettles ready
wondering about use of cutting fluids to improve tool life.
Very cool project. Any reason why you don't use lubrication while turning/machining?

No lube needed for machining brass.( Or cast iron)
Are the cut outs on the side of the cylinder optional? Like, are they there just for cool looks or do they actually serve a purpose?

It would work without the cutouts. The extended cylinder forms a tru=nk guide that supports the pistin big end. The cutouts would reduce friction.
When you make the lap, what kind of glue are you using and what are you spraying on it? Good video, thanks. Jack

It's a cyanoacrylic (super glue) with a spray activator. Commonly used for fsticking mitres on kitchen pelmets and cornice.
Great video. Do you build from plans?

I am using plans for the basic design but I have changed the cylinder design and porting. I am fitting a larger boiler and styling it to look like a Byers industrial loco.
Hi myfordboy I want to start steam engineering could you give me any tips on how to start out I volonteer at a hearitage railway so I get how it all works I want to try making a model of a steam train called blue circle and would like to know what gauge you recommend

There are companies who put new cells in your old Batteries. Just send them in. BTW i use the same drill almost daily. 25 Years is about right.

Столько работы ради какой-то безделушки.

Дело не в безделушке а в удовольствии от процесса создания. Кто руками не одарён природой, тому не понять.
do you still have your plans for this? I'm very interested in trying to make that cylinder, but I still feel confused about the way the air works.. great video otherwise ! :)

Absolutely fantastic. Thank you for your reply! I'm trying to see if it could fit as the motor for a mill i will be working on for a presentation project. I'll be trying to make it a bit bigger so it can reach 100-120mm from top to bottom.
