    As promised here is a small update about my 5 inch gauge loco. Still problems to sort out, but he's getting there, found a leak on the cylinders a couple of days again, that's a day's work- remove boiler - remove cylinders - re-gasket them - then re-assemble... oh well.

    Imagine being that guy at a party and be like:
    “Oh yeah I have my own Thomas, 5 inch gauge. Not much to it, built it myself.” And just flex on people about it like you bought a car

    I mean, Thomas is described as a "fussy little engine." Issues are to be expected I suppose, and that it holds true even at 5inch gauge only makes the model more accurate if you ask me!
    As far as the locomotive itself goes, though: it's fascinating to see a live steam model of an E2 operating in present day. Nicely done!

    Brilliant video, although I have one gripe- ALWAYS replace the covers for the tanks when running the loco! If any soot gets in the tanks, it could clog the injectors or end up in the boiler, a problem you could do without.

  • @lorenzosdeadchannel
    @lorenzosdeadchannel Před 3 lety

    Nice work on thomas, it looks to be turning out quite well. Although i do feel obligated to point out that you should NEVER run a steam engine if the lubricator is not working, it will just wear out the cylinders and pistons and eventually the engine will seize up. Fix the lubricator, than run it, otherwise you'll have much bigger problems than just having to open the regulator all the way just to get it moving.

    you may have filled the boiler a little too much at the start? Thats why there was water in the whistle, its probably better at half or just over half a glass of water. Leaves room at the top of the boiler for steam to build up.
