I quite liked your water levels, I quite liked your fiddling with the injectors, I love the way you had water clinging on to your nut and I thought your trackwork was second to none. The only issue I have is the rudeness of some people's negative comments.
You must like replacing very expensive copper boilers. Where are your engines? Hmmm? Don't see anything on your channel. From what experience are you speaking? And Casey Jones never made any sense to me because he became a legend for slightly taking the sting out of a wreck he caused in the first place.
@@steamandsmoke97 replacing expensive copper boilers? not at all, if these boilers are looked after correctly they will last many many years, it's very rare a boiler ever needs replacing, they will often see out the life of the locomotive if looked after correctly
@@david197407 You didn't read the other comments. He's carrying the water too low. I mentioned replacing expensive copper boilers because of this Nick Hale moron saying that he likes how the Engineer/Driver runs the engine with the water so low in the boiler, pretty much clinging the bottom nut. I own several copper boilers and know full well how long they last if cared for and operated correctly. Won't last long with an exposed crown though!!!!! Copper boilers can last in excess of 100 years if built and run right. But as soon as the water leaves the bottom nut and the silver solder melts, you're done. Period. Read the whole thread behind the posts before trying to correct someone who already knows.
What a lovely engine, I have one very similar. I like the backhead injectors, very tidy and neat. Don't listen to the armchair experts; it's your loco, you drive it how you want!
@@tankunicorn134 Build one or buy one, Be a volunteer at your closest club. Make some friends and get them to teach you how to run one properly. there are a lot of quirks with machinery that another experienced person will teach you, if your willing to watch and learn first then get on and go.
On the back of his 5 gauge Hunslet quarry engine, maybe these three wagons could be turned into three slate wagons or 5 plank wagons for his next project.
Cool setup. How hard would it be to make the upper loop turn back on itself and do another loop where the yard area was at start of video? Would make a nice long run to have loops at both ends

Bloody hell you carry your water way too low in the glass... Especially in a copper boiler judging by the appearance of the backhead. You should have left the injector alone the first time you started it.. the boiler recovered the steam back very very quickly and probably would have kept up with it if the fire door had been closed more instead of wide open. Shutting down on the regulator and letting it blow off isn't doing you any favors since you're just blowing water out and making things worse. A skilled Driver shouldn't need to shut down to start an injector. Letting the water barely cling to the bottom nut of the glass is a good way of ruining a copper boiler.
@@yeo5811 You're no hero if you're the one that caused the accident you're trying to "Save" people from in the first place. And no good Fireman ever carries water that low. On a full sized Engine, sure you've got at least two inches of water between the top of the crown and the bottom nut of the glass if the boiler is designed competently by people who put the bottom sight glass bushings at that height for that added margin of safety. On a scale model? That's more like 1/2" if anything. All it would take is for the Engine to hit a slight down grade, and whatever water that is left will run forward and expose the crown with the level that low. It's his engine, he can do what he likes with it. But I don't run any of my engines that way, especially not a huge engine like my 4-8-4.
Great model engineering, steams freely, powerful and faithful to the original. Nothing not to like 👍
I like how the dogs like: fool your smoke machine is to slow for me hooman.

Mustn't be me you're referring to because I don't own an armchair, I've built my own engines, and I run full size locos.
How do you get these things?

@@robbrown1261 wow cool
@@robbrown1261 thank you
Adorable! For a second there when you passed the dog, I though he was going to jump on the back of the train, like Max in "the Grinch"...
Excellent video, Loved going for a ride with you. I would like to see more of these

Wish I could afford something like this :(
Shes lovely, thanks for posting

Could you tell me we’re this wonderful little railway is please?
That's a nice big layout.
Lovely engine. What coal are you using?
Great video 👍🏻
Where is this line?
un trés beau jouet pour les grands enfants
What gauge and what loco is it
Robin Dolan
hi 7.25 inch gauge and the loco is a large quarry hunslet like George Sholto
Ok thanks it is lovely
มีขายมั้ยครับ
farrrrrk thats my kind of train id kill for my own one of them
This is good, nice one
having water near the bottom nut, and pressure approaching the red line, id be putting water in instead of letting it blow off. just a suggestion
Where about can you get one

Well, as I live and breathe it's Casey Jones giving a lecture😉
@@nickhale2900 That's not my name and Casey Jones was a horrible Engineer. He was the cause of a wreck.

track work is terrible, water too low.
Otherwise great
