O Gauge Live Steam: David Meyrick Sept 2019
Ғылым және технология
Strong sun greeted us to David Meyrick's September O Gauge Live steam event. There are some notable runs including Rafe's 2-2-2 Allan with a wonderful paint job and both of David's engines in steam together (2-8-0 freight and King express). See the handshake between David and Rafe as the engines pass beneath them.
John and Graham also show the contrast between express passenger (Mallard) and a humble Southern Q1 with several passing shots. Look out for John's coal fired GNR Atlantic and Graham's King Arthur and Trevor's Royal Scot on suitable passenger stock.
Mike's gas fired 2-6-4 Fowler tank makes visible steam and my GNR Atlantic winds things up

Really amazing work here, thank you for the videos
That LNWR 2-2-2 is just plain amazing to watch. It's tiny, but still fully steam powered.
Dave, you are a lucky man to have access to those facilities! Have you considered using a monopod for filming ? Very quick and easy to move about and gives awesome stability compared to freehand. Love yr videos. 👌
Lovely video and all nice locomotives thanks for sharing
Thank you for posting this video of your wonderful event. That single is absolutely AMAZING!!! Cheers, Dougal

I agree. Its amazing that an engine small enough to fit into the palm of your hand can run for so long and look stunning. It's Rafe's masterpiece.
Excellent!
Amazing video! That Single really is something special! A credit to the craftsman! I’ve been considering building an 0 gauge steam locomotive for a long while now, and now I’ve finished restoring a 3 1/2 inch gauge Tich I’ve recently acquired, it might be a good time to start. Maybe something like LBSC’s “Bat” for a simple starter project.

Can I encourage you to get the GOG Live Steam book. It has much practical advice. Some LBSC designs are still available. If you do decide to build 32mm gauge, then it would be useful to adopt 29mm back to back wheel standards. This is what I and my friends use.

@@DrDave_63395 Is there a book specifically on O gauge steam? Here in the US live steam only gets as small as Gauge 1 . It's very interesting to see live steam at this scale, please make a video on how the locomotive works. I feel like there may be some trickery compared to larger steam.

@@polishfinnish3066 The best starting point is the GOG Live Steam book. (from Gauge O Guild web site) and LBSCs description of BAT and OWL from Tee Publishing. These both give detailed descriptions on how to make O gauge live steam engines. As to size, its not a real problem. I'd recommend starting with an out side cylinder engine as it give more space. Of course a USA out line engine would be larger. I prefer Meths (alcohol) as it is closer to prototype requiring the exhaust steam to draw the fire.
