That just shows you the ingenuity of man. We need to get jobs done and then the race began. It’s amazing to see how far we’ve come. The steam engines were so complex , I’m sure it will take most people in todays age a while to learn everything and how it all works. Super cool hobby.
What I’d give for one of these. My uncle had a 4” that I was allowed to drive around shows as he got a bit too long in the tooth to manage. Loved it, I just wish I had the funds and was clever enough to do it. For now I just love watching the people’s enthusiasm for their own engines. Brilliant video
what a lovley little thing, a real credit to the builder
This engine is awesome. A true work of functional art. Thank you so much for sharing.
Nice video it gives me inspiration on getting on with me two inch Burrell.
It is a beautiful piece of art. I am impressed how gages and all functions is working even how small it is. I like you video. 🇧🇻

incredible how strong that snall steam engine is ! wonderfull model !
Your wagon should be painted up to look like a coal tender. This thing is so cute!
In the process of building a Fowler A7 2” so good to see the end result. Need to add a water lifter to the list now!
Wow, love these
excellent vidio showing anyone who whould like to have a 2 model steam model and how to run them!
Beautiful little engine. I wouldn't doubt its ability to pull a car..
Steam power is brilliant 👍.
thanks for making this, favourite video of today.
Fantastic video very interesting outstanding little steam traction engine well built someone went to great detail on building like to have one myself thanks
That tiny locomotive moves faster than the full sized ones, and it's towing 100% of it's weight.
No nonsense and very informative, Thank You!
Fantastic video and engine
Fantastic piece of engineering, thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for that excellent and detailed review 😊
That’s a wonderful model and I am thinking I really need one for retirement... despite some real complexity 😬
7:50 - Based on the current gas prices, this seems as a viable alternative to my car...
What a fantastic video ive stumbled on, very informative and straight to the points
I love these models. I hope to own one someday
GREAT SHOW THANK YOU
A very good video and tutorial, this. Thank you. I note that the ashpan and grate dropping arrangement is not strictly true to prototype, but it does make perfect sense (for ease of cleaning/fire disposal) in this small size. VERY GOOD, THANK YOU. :-)
I'm currently making this a7 in 2 inch scale
I just purchased a 3" A7, waithing for delivery now.
A great video and a lovely engine and well explained.
Excellent video! Thanks for sharing👍
Wonderful work of art.
A great video. It's a fascinating machine.
super sprawa - dużo włożonej pracy ale i efekt naprawde do podziwiania
Excellent video
Never underestimate the power of steam
that looks fun
Stupenda macchina.
Love it
Awesome. 💙 T.E.N.
P.S. Decorate the riding trailer to match the traction engine. 💙 T.E.N.
มันสวยงามมาก
Wow
OMG, as soon as I said Choo Choo at 7:49 the driver tooted the whistle! LOL!
I WANT IT!!! get me that locomotive. But sir you still haven't recovered from the last ti.. GET ME. THAT. LOCOMOTIVE 🚂
Did they get the steam out of it the same way on the full scale model?
That was probably very dangerous with all that boiling water coming out, was it ?
I am new to the steam world and I have a question. I’ve tried to look it up but it seems everyone has a different opinion. I’m going to build a little steam car. What are you using for steam oil. I have a displacement Oiler
i'd love to know if its at all possible to slip it tween first and second gear
it would be a pain, but in 99% certain some one has floated from low to high gear
I once fired my friend's miniature traction engine on BBQ charcoal. I didn't know the you could use it to start a fire in the firebox.
I accidentally stoked the fire that he had got going and pressure went up and flywheel went around faster and faster. my friend told me off for doing that.
it was when he was having trouble finding enough coal for his engine.
should have used the regulator?
cool but how to get one of these? Also can you use just normal wood as fuel? AAAAAAND is it absolutely crusual to use different oils when oiling?
our website is where they are all for sale. Yes, the larger ones will happily run on wood, (although coal has more heat in it), and yes, you need thick steam oil for the hot cylinders, as the thinner lubricating oil will just get steam cleaned away. www.steamworkshop.co.uk
thanks!
can i also choose between 2" and 3" size for the Fowler A7?
before putting the engine to bed did you let the fire burn low before pulling the pins out
Doesnt matter bud
Hi how can you tell what scale you traction engine is
how do you run a engine out of gear
I’m home home
That in kit form would be a grate project
you can buy kits. Steam Traction World. approx £8000
I wanna know how much one is that size
That one was about £6750 from memory. They vary quite a lot depending upon quality and rarity. 🙂
Steam Traction World do them in monthly kits. £8000
With a total ban on coal even these models wont be able to run.
There’s never going to be a total ban on coal, nobody’s ever even suggested that so no need to worry,…… there will always be coal fired steam. 🙂
Fortunately, there are many other fuels. I hear of anthracite, and this thing called "biocoal", or something of the sort.
Great video however not viewing again as your advertising is bad. Why do I want to wait 30 seconds to listen to a Detol advert…. amongst other things. Thumbs down. You are not for me. Kind regards.
you are joking of course?
This is a great technologies of Russian avtovaz
Love it
