Part 44: Completing the Expansion Links and moving holes.

- Welcome to Part 44 of my long term series of videos covering the build of Don Young's Hunslet 0-6-0 Saddle Tank Locomotive in 5" Gauge.
In this video, I complete the Expansion Links by soldering the Links to the Trunions and fixing them to the Motion Plates. I also show how I move a couple of incorrectly drilled holes.
Given the nature of these sorts of projects, new videos will be posted as I progress through the build but there will be no regular cadence, rather their frequency will be dependent upon time available and of course real progress on my part.
If you like what you see, please do give me a thumbs up and subscribe.
Enjoy!
Looking great, and good to see how you fix mistakes. They're always easily made but correcting them is usually the tricky part!
Isn't that the truth 😁
👍
Evening Mark nice detail video, the smaller the parts the longer they seem to take to make
Great work! Nice Video!
You making good progress!
Thanks for the shoutout!
Stay healthy!
The most instructive and useful videos are those where things don’t go perfectly, so thank you very much for including them. Great progress and good luck, and of course, happy new year!
Happy New Year to you too William. I'm looking forward to your next update. 👍
@@markshomeengineering5243 I'm finding it very hard to get time in the workshop, but I have most of the next video filmed - there's some batch production so I need to get that done for the wrap-up. May I ask a question? The instructions for the Maid suggest to mount the coupling rods hole on an arbor in a milling vice and then swinging the coupling rod around by hand against the milling cutter - is this one of those things which is dangerous and the practise ceased, or just something with limited use and so a rotary table ends up being used more often for other tasks, and thus for this too? Filing buttons won't work very well with the oil cup protrusion...
Hi William,
I completely understand, you do have more pressing matters at hand :-)
Regarding the machining of coupling rod ends, I have seen this practice described in books, but it's not something I have tried. It does strike me as questionable though and not something I would do or recommend. Definitely use a rotary table or use filing buttons - the oil pots are a PIA!
Cheers
Mark
This is Looking fantastic Mark! We all make mistakes, errors and the such, including them in the video makes it more relatable. Your still a master craftsman to my eyes. Look forward to the next, have a great new year. All the best, Matt
Cheers Matt, you have a great New Year too 👍
Don't keep us waiting too long for your next vid 🙂
@@markshomeengineering5243 rumour has it 3rd Jan is when it all starts again 👍
at 1:24 you are clamping up the Link Brackets. I do such operations slightly differently. First I clamp a Parallel in the Vice but extending say 1/2" above the top of the Vice Jaws. I use the Surface of the Parallel against the fixed Vice Jaw to set the Y-Axis Zero. Then I remove the Parallel and set the Part in place. Instead of the Needle-Nose Pliers I use an Eclipse Magnet which holds the Surface of the Part exactly flush with the top surface of the fixed Vice Jaw (my fixed Vice Jaw is parallel to the Mill Table). The I set the X-Axis Zero like you have.
I empathize with you regarding the Motion Pins. Many LBSC designs used Pins pressed into one of the Parts.
Top tip Bruce, thankyou 👍
As for pressing the pins, now that might just be what I need to do, especially for the Expansion Link die blocks.
👍👍😎👍👍
