- Welcome to the third video in a series that will chart the scratch building of a Gauge 1 live steam Great Western Railway Prairie Tank locomotive. The videos will aim to give some insight of not only the assembly of the locomotive but also how individual parts are produced.
Interesting movie! Thanks for posting! Cheers Fabrizio
Glad you like them
@@GroveDave Thanks to you, cheers
What you're doing is really a dying art. Your lathe is also very "old school" when I look at the cutting tools you're using. Great result and great knowledge.
Yes you are correct. "Old School" "Dying Art Skills" still delivering for my hobby and enjoyment. There are still a few of us around

@@GroveDavewhy didn't you nock it out of gear when reaming hole .one can feel the reamer cutting ? Phil wickenden
Fabulous! I must have a go at doing this, i will be watching out for the next part
Many thanks, hopefully there should be steady trickle of releases over the coming months
Did you show how to neatly bend the rear of the frames inwards? Great video series. Thanks.
No I didn't record that operation.
Nice done! ... just one thing....
After cutting the cone on the wheel... i would not turn it arround.... just let it in the chuck and bore the axle holes.... if you flip it.... the center is out of Alignment relative to the running circle (cone) the wheel center and the outer circle (running surface) is better done with one unchanged setup!
I did say in the video there was more than one way to do it
Indeed! In his book, "The Pennsylvania A3 Switcher (The first project for the beginner)," the author Kozo Hiraoka emphasizes this very point. "In all cases where perfect concentricity or squareness is required, the related surfaces must be machined in the same chucking."
Hello where do you obtain your wheel castings ? Thanks
Hello Tony, I get mine from Walsall model industries, they also do machined options
I can’t believe you can’t spell axle as used in engineering. Your intro used ‘axel.’ This is a term used in ice skating!
Apparently figure skating most difficult jump, as you say
