The cradle material was probably specified as a composite to provide a thermal break. There are many composites that have insulating properties. One composite that is readily available is wood. A nice bit of hardwood such as rosewood, ebony, rock maple, etc would look great. You don't need any special tools, very hard woods can be worked in the same way as aluminum. You can sometimes tap threads in wood, but I'd glue in a threaded brass insert. Nice model so far, thanks for sharing.
Multumesc prieteni! Nu am avut prea mult timp săptămâna aceasta ... așa că nu există prea multe explicații. Am lucrat la asta până acum ... Un weekend frumos !!!! (Google Translater... ;) )
Looks good! I would recommend using something other than brass for the boiler cradles unless you plan to insulate them. They will transfer a lot of heat to the chassis.
The mark or "center-punsh" has alsways high spots around. (On mild material) that can cause the Drill dance around the Center... in small drillings) its to prevent from that....
.... yes.... i am still learning to use all theese Audio, Video, cutting Software... and this time i was really out of time and late...! Sorry for that.... but i will be better next time! Thanks for watching! Nice Weekend!
When are you continuing your Decauville series? I've done most of it on my own build but I don't know how to put everything together, as it doesn't say in the instructions.
Ti seguo sempre ammiro le persone che come te non fanno uso di macchine a controllo usi molto bene la lima ,peccato che hai interrotto la costruzione della Decauville .
Once again beautiful workmanship and a great video!
Thanks Nigel.... i play with the idea to sell that cracker online. Maybe on ebay... and spend the outcomming price to your collaboration project....

ThAnjs for watching!!!!

Great as always. One question: why do you file the mark made with the burin . Regards Roberto

Wonderful as always. If I might make a suggestion, it feels like the background music is a bit front and centre in this video?

Welchen durchmesser werden die räder ganz außen haben? Möchte mal rundstahl bestellen
Schreib mir an dreamsteam@gmx.de dann sende ich dir die Pläne per PDF
Zu deiner Frage .... 36,5 mm
@@dreamsteam8272 okay danke
Was genau ist gmx? Geht auch über Gmail?
Wie ist der Durchmesser des kessels?
52x2 also innen 48
47.5mm OD according to the plans (though it seems the link in the video description doesn't work)
@@rjordans thanks
@@dreamsteam8272 bin gerade dabei einen 42mm kessel zu bauen, würde der auch draufpassen, er ist wahrscheinlich etwas länger
@@Pyrokartoffel passen ja... Die Frage ist ob das kesselvolumen zur kontinuierlichen Versorgung mit Dampf ausreicht...
