shes not just priming a little, she is priming her guts out, and even as she primes, the fireman still has the bleeding injector on! bit concerned it took the driver so long to notice his loco was priming so badly before opening the drain cocks! At least he shut the regulator in a effort stop the carry over.
If I'm not mistakening You should actually turn on the injectors I THINK And there's a reason Let's say for egsample the glass is 3/4 Then the engine primes The suddenly your glass is full It's the water lifting up Then when the engine stops priming The water just disappears Then ye drop a plug Again I think that's wat I heard
@@laaity when you have experience of operating steam loco boilers, feel free to comment. You DO NOT inject more water into a boiler when the engine is priming its guts out. 9 times out of 10 the reason a engine is priming is because the boiler is over full of water. If you suffer carry over with 3/4 if a glass of water, the issue is water quality caursing priming, and the engine should not be worked hard until the boiler has been washed out You also have to manage your water level dependant on the inclines and decents you know you will encounter, if going bunker/tender first up a incline, then extreme careful management of water is required to keep the firebox crown covered but not to high so to induce priming. In either case, the, drain cocks need opening and regulator shutting as soon as priming starts to prevent damage to valve faces and cylinders
@@James_Rivett idk where I heard inject water Opologies Unless I heard the story wrong And I actually do have a bit of experience Not alot I think I mixed up a story or 2
I'm surprized that the engine is pulling a train in reverse. I have seen pictures of boiler explosions where the boiler flipped onto the coaches when it exploded.
Thanks for the comment Bill. Running in reverse up the hill causes problems on a number of occasions as the angle of the climb makes the water run towards the front of the boiler. I have a few videos of loco's having a problem with priming in the same spot when pulling a train up the hill tender first. I shall upload a couple more when I have converted them from analogue

Imagine the incredible torque that small locomotive has at the wheels!
Sorry for asking this question, may I have your permission to use the audio from this video?
I'll make sure give you a credit.

Who is she?

The suddenly your glass is full
It's the water lifting up
Then when the engine stops priming
The water just disappears
Then ye drop a plug
Again I think that's wat I heard

No way of turning at either end
@@matthewpeter It should have been placed on the rails so it would face uphill.
@@billsheehan2448 trouble is that railway has hills in both directions so you're always going to be facing the "wrong" way in one direction.
just love some of the idiotic replies you get on youtube by those who clearly know nothing of what they write about haha
