    When you start the donkey engine it is a good idea to keep all of your digits on one side of the handle. This is because if the engine kicks back for any reason your hand will come away fairly easily, with your thumb on the other side of the handle you may sustain a nasty injury. Looks like a great project.

    Brillian video. Love the fact that the Donkey engine's throttle position is exactly right with 42p of coins behind it. 😀

    Hi Ollie, Excellent video - a great behind the scenes look at the preparation required to maintain and run a Ruston. I will follow this with interest. Well done again

    So it's not just turning a key and/or pressing 'Start' right off the bat. Quite a complex starter, with the Total Loss Cooling on the Donkey engine being uncommon these days, but I dare say the main engine will run all day without worrying too much about it. It's good to hear the Ruston running. Sounds good, too. It's another learning curve but most of the mechanical principals are the same. I'm not sure off-hand what the oil is for the chain-drives, unfortunately, but thick enough to stick to the chain anyway. All the best Ollie. Keep safe, sir!
    (There's a story we were told as young apprentices, of someone starting the motor with an oxygen cylinder feed, as the compressor wasn't working...you can imagine, the results were quite explosive!)

    Interesting video Ollie, I visited Colne Valley on Sunday afternoon and saw the Ruston so great to see what's inside! I would've guessed it had an electric starter but no, I suppose you don't have to worry about a flat battery.

    A note for the Wolseley, if you screw the throttle clockwise it should tighten the spring on the governor and increase the revs without using penny’s.

    Part of the committee at Royal Deeside Railway in Scotland and this is a dream of mine to own my own train! Literally living every train fans dream! Would love to get a real breakdown of how you got the engine, how it was bought etc but understand if you don’t want to 😂 Can’t wait to see what’s coming next!

    • @WardleRestorations

      Getting the engine was more luck and good timing, had I gone on to buy another wagon that fell through a few weeks before, getting the loco would never have happened!

  • @hightower1984
    @hightower1984 Рік тому +1

    Possibly a daft question but.... aside from the process of buying the loco, could you shed some light on getting it housed on the railway? I take it they had to agree to have it there? Do you have to pay them to keep it there? And how easy is it to get time to drive it up and down the line?

    I've never seen the inside of a real Ruston Shunter before. It's something we hardly ever see in real life. However, I'm not familiar with the inner component workings of the Ruston Shunter, so I can't help you very much there. Show me the inside of a steam engine, and I could more easily give you a lowdown on how a steam engine works. I confess to growing up with Thomas the Tank Engine. Thanks for showing me something I've never seen in real life. Perhaps asking a volunteer might help, that's what volunteers are for. Give my purrs and mews to your two cats when you can. I love and miss them.

    Quite a complicated thing to start up and drive! Quicker start-up than the big marine engines I managed to avoid having to work on! They had an electric starter motor to start the starter engine!
