I'm just starting, I'm on my second stationary engine and the bug has bit, my goal eventually is something like this wonderful example, thanks for the video
@@WestHuntspillMES ive put a deposit on a durham & north Yorkshire at berrybrook, going to view it on monday 😃 bit small so they are also going to show me their fowler ploughing engine, both are 2" but fowler is a lot bigger
@@mattseymour8637 Coal firing a traction engine at 1" scale (loco at 3.5" scale) is more about 'authenticity' than practicality. The size of the lumps of coal is extremely important and difficult to get just right. Gas or even spirit (meths) can raise steam just as well without all the mess of coal and ash. I've seen 2" vertical boiler steam lorries run on gas very successfully. Even my 3" Aveling & Porter has a small fire hole, so many lumps of coal just won't go through without modification - hitting with a lump hammer! You can find the video of my first (far less successful) steaming here ua-cam.com/video/QCtDAzfIgBc/v-deo.html For some reason it always starts well into the video, but you can easily drag the video back to the start if you're a masochist! I'll be putting more videos on my channel as they come available. I have a few smaller models to steam up and even 2 I've never lit before!
@Matt Seymour. Definitely not. That size will either put the fire out or burn way too hot. There's no middle ground. I think the correct size is called 'peanut' and is pretty much available only from miniature steam suppliers. Almost no main coal suppliers bother with it as the market is tiny.
@@mattseymour8637 the british engines did the same like our american engines. Ours look plain but did the job but you Brits take pride in your engine and make them all pretty and such, but there's nothing wrong with that!! I just recieved a 2" allchin from silvercreastmodels in England and I must say that I'm still blown away and cannot believe that I own such a gorgeous engine,.just beutiful, no words...
What a beautiful engine. One day when I’m grown up I would love to have one.
Must be great to have one of these fine engines. Keep having fun with it as I do with my little Mamod. (gotta start somewhere !).
Exactly, join your local model engineering society and they will encourage you to do what you think you can't

Thanks Trevor glad you enjoyed the video and that the bug has bit, it’s a fantastic hobby to be involved in!
@@WestHuntspillMES just missed out on a nice 3" burrell at the steam workshop, the search is on!
Enjoy the search! Can also suggest Stationroadsteam, BerryBrook Steam and Classics and Legacy Vehicles. Hope you find your dream engine.

Congratulations! Enjoy it!
Loving the miniature bucket under the smokebox! :D
It's there to catch the inevitable drips from the smoke box. It may be smoke tight, but it's unlikely to be water tight.
Good little engine! Seems to have a good draw on it! Takes a lot of coal too!
Beautiful
Pure poetry in motion 👌👏👏👍😀
Amazing British engineering.
hey man.. looks like you got a 4"garret there
Классный паровой трактор а чертежи интересно есть в свободном доступе..

Lovely machnery. The long flue dose that help with draw through the boiler and is that a extra that u have desgined or are they like that
The chimney extension is a length of Aluminium log burner flu. Most engines in this scale use them to draw the fire when lighting from cold

I've been bitten by the steam bug, my toys keep getting larger!!!
I know that feeling too!
Are you using housecoal to start then steam coal once got going?
Yep 👍
@@WestHuntspillMES sounds a good plan! Do you recommend that method for a 1 inch traction engine and a 3.5 inch loco?

@@amanofmanyparts9120 thanks for the advice very useful. So do you recommend smaller pieces like grain size?
@Matt Seymour. Definitely not. That size will either put the fire out or burn way too hot. There's no middle ground. I think the correct size is called 'peanut' and is pretty much available only from miniature steam suppliers. Almost no main coal suppliers bother with it as the market is tiny.
WHAT WAS SOMETHING THIS SIZE USED FOR
Enjoying the technology of steam and it does a fantastic job of it ....(brilliant piece of art)
It’s a 1/3rd scale model of a Garrett general purpose engine. The majority were used for threshing and general contracting.
@@WestHuntspillMES Garrets were great behind the saw bench too as kept a good constant speed

What coal do you use?
He uses the coal called coal..;p
@@charleskendall6401 haha very funny smart ass!
How do you get one????
Buy one
@@edweeb6664 yes..
Hege Gerhardt look on station road steam or berry brook steam
You buy a set of drawings and start with the component you think you can make. The move onto the next one

I need
This is a British traction engine. And I'm American
