Not to worry, one of our group has an indoor railway :) This video features 6 live-steam model locomotives in various narrow gauge scales and Gauge 1 standard gauge. Enjoy.

    What happens when the washers eventually deteriorate? using loctite will prevent removal surely?? As a matter of interest, where can one obtain the washers ?

    • @gasmith841
      @gasmith841 8 днів тому

      Hi Dave, I was using Loctite 542, not 271. 542 is especially good for fine threads in pressure lines and can handle oil. It is of medium strength so can be loosened with a bit of effort if necessary. It's also recommended by Roundhouse. I got the fibre washers via Locoworks (Roundhouse dealer)

    This is a stupid question I know, how do you start and stop them? like the turntable for the warehouse, does it work/move? great video

    • @gasmith841
      @gasmith841 28 днів тому

      All the locomotives shown in this video are live steam. Their speed is dependent on the amount of steam being allowed to go to the cylinders. This is achieved through a steam regulator. In these models the regulator can be manually adjusted or via a servo linkage in radio-controlled models. The forward/reverse direction is dependent on the position of an adjustable linkage in the valve-gear, again operated either manually or via r/c. The turntable on this layout does not work, its just for show

    What construction method for the track please?

    • @gasmith841
      @gasmith841 2 місяці тому

      The support pillars are scaffolding pipe and they sit 60cm deep in the ground. At the top of the pipes are self-made metal framework pieces that support the track bed and can adjust the track bed height bi 4 cm. The track bed itself is made from a specially weather resistant board known as 'betonplex' here in NL. The board is covered with roofing felt, glued to the board, wrapped around the edges of the board and tidily finished off with strip wood. The LGB track is layed on top.

    When I was a kid, so we are talking early 1980’s, a work colleague of my father has a live steam railway in his garden. Perhaps 3 or 4 inch? It ran round the garden and through the garage in a circle. Parts of the track lifted up for when not in use. . . He was a tool maker, and built it all himself. He also had a small working (not steam) locomotive that was about 2cm long, that ran on a small circular track about 7cm in diameter, on the mantle piece above the living room fire. It ran on compressed butane from lighter refills. It did not burn the gas, it just ran off the gas as it expanded. Fill it up from a can of lighter gas and it ran around the track for about 15 seconds before the gas expanding caused it to get covered in condensation that froze up, and it stopped, frozen. He just wanted to see how small he could make one that worked.
