Wonderful video and your production and narration is fantastic.
We have all had to endure the indignity of a none starter at some point, but that Tolhurst model is a stunner. I heard your podcast and enjoyed every minute of it. Great to see one of your videos again, very enjoyable.
Those are beautiful little locomotives!
Oh, nice you're still with us. Was beginning to think Covid got you and took you from us. Great to see you and the steam. looking forward to you editing more of those Shed bash films you shared. Plus now that you're home preserved railways, live steam clubs, and any mainline steam you catch!😊
I love these films about the little steam locomotives in the garden.
Thanks so much for being an awesome podcast guest!
The best part of the live steam hobby is the people. Always ready to share knowledge and experience
Nice to see you again Jonathan, love watching and listening to your videos, 👍👍.
Thank you for returning to UA-cam! I’ve been back over your videos many times. Please upload more, and more. Oh and more 😀
All the best
Fantastic video, and beautiful trains. I've always been amazed at how such competitively small pistons can have so much power, they must be very well made.
Great vid and very glad you have more vids out again, your interview on Railway Mania was fascinating!
Your recordings should be in a museum!
A wonderful video, Mr Guilbert! Thank you vor sharing.
A truly fascinating watch! The shots of the guys all prepping their locos were strongly reminiscent of footage of cleaners prepping locos at large mainline sheds - an interesting 21st century parallel. Your feature in Corb's podcast was also fantastic, great to hear more about your behind the scenes and creative processes.
Hi Luke, hope you've had a chance to look at the video of my visit to Edge Hill Depot I did in 1968:

I'm happy to see you again! I found your channel in late 2020 and after watching a multitude of your documentaries and other videos I lost you for well over a year. Every few months I would try to find your videos again but with no such luck.
Hi, thanks for the comment I'm glad you're back. If you subscribe to the channel you may have a better chance of finding me.
@@GandyDancerProductions I was subscribed. The funny thing was, I forgot the name!
@@GandyDancerProductions im glad your back
Great to see you back Jonathan. Enjoyed the video as ever.
Missed your videos, thank you for the up load, some nice locos :)
You’ve Come back!
I listened to that podcast episode just the other day! Must say as only a casual viewer of your channel only stumbling across it for your videos on your simplex it wasn’t until listening to that podcast did I find out about your other videos on the collieries. Then promptly went and watched them all!
Hi Kaleb, I'm pleased you enjoyed it. Stay in touch there more colliery and mainline steam to come.
I have a gas fire accucraft ruby. It's hard enough to get a good mix of gas flow for the amount of work the engine is doing with that. I can only imagine coal firing the same engine...
I do have a Goodall valve and a squirt bottle for it though, it's a huge help for when I end up running out of gas before I should because it's so hard to get the flow just right when steaming up!
I find that the turbo blue butane that rural king has in store works best for my ruby I start by using as small of a flame as I can until I see the pressure gauge move then I ramp it up i also can't get the gas to vaporize when below sixty thinking about making some heating system with a small water tank
@@wesbrackmanthercenthusiast4695 I'll have to give that brand a try once I get a new valve rod, mine snapped off in the valve while I was making adjustments this past winter.
Glad to see you're back
Glad to see you back uploading!
Very interesting movie! Cheers Fabrizio
Hey, glad to have you back!
Great to see you back!
YOU HAVE RETURNED!!
Fantastic video, as always. Great to see live steam in the garden, always been tempted myself but id HAVE to go with radio control live steam otherwise id be going mad chasing it all the time XD
Such a fascinating hobby.
Thanks for posting, really enjoyed this. Lovely railway!
Great filming! These small locos are great and also challenging to steam as well because of their small size. A real skill to keep in steam but go well when the get going!
Hi Matt, very true. I find it to be the case every time I steam my engine.
@@GandyDancerProductions Yes that is what I experience with my loco and it's not as small as these ones.
@@mattseymour8637 I remember our discussions on the subject.
@@GandyDancerProductions Yes your advice was very helpful and now more efficient at steaming my engines. But even when experienced still a challenge at times due to the size.
Thanks for the video and narration.
After we have watched them of course!
Those little engines are precious.
Fun Stuff!! Nice to see you at it!
I am still getting the hang of my Roundhouse/Riverdale Elke, probably the only one in the USA.
The man the mith the legend is back
Hello, where can you find coal-fired gauge 1/g-scale trains? Most trains I see online are butane/gas or alcohol fired.
I was also wondering if you can convert butane fired to coal? Thanks.
It's not easy to find a supplier. Riverdale Locomotives (they have a website) make boiler kits for Roundhouse locos and DJB Engineering (they have a Facebook page and website) make complete locos. Both have a long waiting list of orders.
A new video. Yes!
Hello, please show me how you make the wheels and connect to the frame of the locomotive.
If you search the web there are many explanations about building these locos including the frames and wheels.
Super cool! I wonder how hard it would be to have little RC engineers and brake men to man the controls..
If you could make them they would sell like hot cakes.
@@GandyDancerProductions I hope your engine Joan is ok
@@brennenseibert1614 Running vry well, thanks. I'll make another video soon.
@@GandyDancerProductions what was wrong with joan
@@brennenseibert1614 There was and is nothing wrong with the Joan.
Jonathan,Have you ever considered about Hornby Live Steam in OO,because the Mallard Set is Hornby’s Engineering at it’s best.
Hi Patrick, they look interesting though it's not an area I'd want to get into because they are too small for me.
Do you know where I can get those from engines?
There's no big manufacturer who makes these. There are a some small suppliers like DJB Model Engineering. You can find them on the web or Facebook. I have no experience of their coal fired models though I do have a gas fire model of theirs and it's very good.
Please upload another video again soon
at 3:30 how does no steam pressure escape, or go into the bottle?
Here's a non return valve on the engine feed which allows water into the boiler but no steam or pressure to come out.
@@GandyDancerProductions very cool, may I ask what the engine feed does?
@@wolforzo9816 The engine feed is the water feed that is the pipe that gets the water into the boiler.
That’s amazing 🤩
😎😎😎👍
Teehee! So cute!
