'The Gadget' #12 | 7.25" 0-4-0 Beam Engine Clishay Locomotive
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
On Saturday the 6th of September 2020, John Heald ran his new locomotive for only the second time. The 0-4-0 freelance Clishay locomotive uses a 'Beam Engine' design and a steel boiler, proving to be John's most unique build yet.
But the work paid off, and the outcome is a stunning, hardworking, forgiving engine, making it easy for learner drivers to be educated on the running of steam locomotives. All whilst hauling three fully loaded ridecars with ease for the public.
This Locomotive Mini-Documentary covers the build process, some shots from around the Tauranga Model Marine & Engineering Society track, as well as an interview with the Builder & Owner, John Heald. Enjoy!

Super craftsmanship
That's great, an attractive locomotive for beginners. I am learning (slowly) up to getting my steam license, so far so good.
Cheers from California ! Loved this !
What a beautiful creation! Thanks for sharing
Fantastic! I thought about doing this a while back using a few Stuart Models beam engines but it never got past paper drawings XD
What a gem.
Excellent production, extremely professional. May I suggest getting The Steam Channel to recommend it as it's easilly at or above their quality. Hopefully you will get more views this way too.
Have you made another video yet? It's been 2 years ago.
I wonder how much that thing can haul?
Can you provide some more info on where to purchase ( or build) the boiler you used?
