- In part 56 I neglected to record the loco in reverse. This was kindly pointed out by viewer 47606odin. Luckily I am off work today, so to the shed for some more running....
Looking great. I can't wait to see it in steam with its full livery. But I will.
Cheers - Neither can I !!!
Looks like a magnificent piece of craftsmanship. Looking forward to seeing it in steam , hopefully this year.
Thanks mate. In steam this year would be great, but there is a hell of a lot still to do.
Cheers Craig
What's interesting is how running a chassis on air will often drain a large compressor to a standstill.
Yes - I wondered that too. Very annoying when it starts up!
@@no23mk2 I think it has to do with the expansive quality of steam not present in compressed air.
Good to hear it run. The compressor noise made me feel right at home!
Thanks mate.
What a fantastic job you’ve done a true beauty she will be. Keep on with the excellent work. I have just started working on the Cylinders for the V2s cheers,
Steve
Thanks Steve, it was a huge relief when she turned over. Full steam ahead with the V2s!
Cheers Craig
made a lovey job of it all very nice engineering top marks your a very skilled man
Thank you Anna - Pleased you like it!
Cheers Craig
@@no23mk2 now have would you like To have a go at a long forgotten Raven /Gresley A8 pacific tank Loco all these were lost back in 1960 last ones where cut up sad we losted one of our great locomotives that worked the north east
Anna - I wish I had the time! The A8 was a fine loco. Maybe a project for my retirement (if I ever stop working that is!!!)
@@no23mk2 was only 3 when I seen one of last in sevice I love to see one in steam again before I go out, they where a fine peace of live machinary never forget them
Having watched previous videos and the work put in, there wasn’t ever any doubt 😁👍
Thanks mate!
Good to see it running after all these videos! It runs as well in forward as it does reverse, which model engineers know can be a trade off for good valve events in forward with reverse sometimes been less than ideal. And I believe another celebration is in order.......we’ve actually heard you talking to us 😀 Regards. Rob
Thank you Rob. Yes, I was pleasantly surprised that it actually ran ! When it ran in both directions equally well - then it suddenly became beer o'clock!!! I knew I had to put the reverse run video up pretty quickly and couldn't be bothered with the editing of text etc. So just talked for a bit when the bloody compressor would allow! Cheers Craig
Hello. Could I ask a question? I notice that in this video, and in the previous one, that when running the die block isn't either at the top or bottom. Is the position that you have it clamped in where 'Full Gear' would be? Thanks.
Nice job! I just got my 4-4-0 American running on air. The regulator I used to throttle it did exactly the same thing.
Thanks Daniel, must admit I jumped a mile when it burst into warp speed!
Cheers Craig
Cracking smooth movement is that Like it Tony
Eh Up Tony! Cheers mate. I'll phone you later.
I'm no machinist, nor train enthusiast, however I always look forward in anticipation to watching your next videos, and the progression of your project. Congratulations on what must be a milestone in this awesome construction. I've watched every episode so far and after watching your machining skills and knowledge I wish I had got into engineering when I was younger, you have even inspired me to purchase a small mill to mess around on. Looking forward to seeing the end result and congratulations once again. Do you have an idea of when it might be finished?
Thanks Jon, I'm pleased you have ventured into the engineering world. Be careful - it's extremely addictive. Once you start.....
Cheers Craig
Love it ! Following this closely as i have plans ready for it for the future. Ps i didnt hace a temp regulator so i just clamped the hose in the vice and used that as a regulator :) bit more control
Cheers mate. Now why didn't I think of that - the vice was right next to it! Thanks for the tip.
Cheers Craig
Awesome in reverse too never doubted you pal. Onwards and upwards now pal
Cheers Mark, I felt a bit of a pillock this morning when I realised I hadn't shown it in reverse - so back to the shed it was! Good job I had the day off work.
@@no23mk2 I'd watch it in any direction all day mate hypnotic haha
Excellent. Is that a B.R Standard bit of wood clamped to the reversing leaver?
Cheers Dave, As you well know, that is precision timber, accurately chopped to within a thou with an army machete!😁
Impressive! Poetry in motion. Please excuse my lack of knowledge of British Locomotives but did the orginal #3 drive wheel not have a flange?
Thanks Craig. The 3rd wheel set are flangless to allow the five axle rigid frame loco to negotiate tight curves in the track without causing damage.
Great work Craig! Looks like you could be on the track by the summer?
Thank you David. Perhaps - if I could be in the shed 24/7 - trouble is, life gets in the way!
