FANTASTIC! .....erm... but, wasn't there a camera in the firebox? lol

@TheModelav8r

4 жыл бұрын

I wondered what happened to that camera. 😄...........just joking I managed to get it out before the fire took hold.

I like your 'upside-down fire' lighting technique... ie a bed of 'large coals' in first then small coals and paraffin rag on top. I can't remember if I mentioned this method before, but the upside-down technique certainly works well with log fires (rather than the usual method of paper and kindling on the bottom and progressively larger pieces of wood on top). Upside-down = less smoke and faster lighting up. I was also wondering about using rainwater. That's got to be best eh? The only trouble is I get hundreds of those little tail-thrashing mosquito larvae in my water butt! I've been fancying a 'centrifugal' spark-catching extension to the chimney. Do you know of a source for any such drawings? Basically the exhaust passes through a fixed 'fan' shaped part which spins the flow into a volute shape, throwing particles outwards into a wider-diameter chimney (much as you will have seen on many steam loco pictures)… where the particles settle. I am wondering how coarse the pitch of the 'fixed fan' blades needs to be (45 degrees, 60 degrees?) in order to avoid excessive back-pressure and the risk of a blowback. Any thoughts appreciated. Just one more think. Is their a vacuum brake cylinder somewhere? Station Road Steam now does Snifter Valves to fit your steam chests. They make a very satisfying sssffffP! sound when the Regulator is opened. Great camera work. Thanks

@TheModelav8r

4 жыл бұрын

Hello Stephen Sorry to say I wasn’t using the upside down technique to light the fire. The large lumps going in first was charcoal soaked in paraffin. This gets the fire going well before putting on the coal. I always use rain water as this prevents scaling and have an in-line filter to remove any debris and the larvae. I am not familiar with the centrifugal spark catcher. I will have to look that one up. I have PNP vacuum brake cylinders on my driving truck and on my carriages And yes looking to buy the Snifter valves from SRS Thanks for your kind comments on my camera work. IPhone, Polaroid Cube, and DJI Mavic Mini drone. And edited with iMovie.
