G'day Nigel those are truly beautiful wheels, the locomotive was a lovely looking engine. I really felt for you when you said all the spokes had to be rounded that was a big job, it's been good watching all your videos on the Lion as I am in hospital and it's great to watch takes your mind off things. Anyway Nigel fantastic effort and garden kind regards Nigel look forward to the next one John
Lovely job on these wheels and true determination to overcome the trial of patience of filling those spokes! Well done. Thank you for uploading. Best regards, D
The things we do to create and make our dreams come true! This type of work can be construed as tedious but as the the Chinese would say, "A long journey begins with one step"! Boy, do I know that, but not long into it you get the buzz "I'm on the last bit" then another dose of energy comes from that. Nice job on the wheels too.👍
Hi Emma. Yeah, I'm glad to get those out the way. The boiler was my biggest dread, the the wheels. The only dread I have on this build now is the brass dome cover!
When i saw you getting the emery cloth ready i thought to myself you are going to need more than that ! When i have a job that requires a lot of filing i tend to feel a sense of dred when starting but it doesn't take long for me to drift off into my own little world and time just seems to fly by ! I am really enjoying your videos and i thank you for making them !
Funny thing about diamond cutting tools, because of the high cutting temperature the carbon will diffuse into the steel. The wheels turned out nice regardless.
Yes, now you mention it I'm aware of that, I have a CBN wheel on my grinder for fine grinding HSS cutting tools. I believe Diamond should be reserved for grinding carbide tools. Thanks for taking the time to watch my videos.
Nigel another great video. Just one question. Your wheels don't seem to have any cone angle. Perhaps the original Lion engine had parallel wheels because they did not understand wheel guidance at that time unlike modern loco wheels.
Hi John The plans show wheels without a cone angle however, I did machine a cone angle, I showed this in one of my videos, I can't remember the angle off hand though I followed details in Martin Evens book Building Model Locomotives. Thanks for your interest in my videos, much appreciated.
They turned out really nice, thanks for making these interesting build videos, you deserve a much larger audience. There should be a K after the 626 subs you have.
Hi Brian Thanks for your interest in my videos, sorry for my late reply. I have do have layouts of the wheels which I used for programming the cnc g-code. You can contact me by email if you wish, you should find my email on my about page.
Looking good bet you are glad that's over. One question, why use such short lengths of abrasive, an 18 inch or more piece would be quicker and you would have less waste with fewer unused hand holds.
Hi Kevin. Yeah, Next to the boiler the wheels are the most time consuming job, even with the benefit of some cnc, Turning the tread and filing the spokes were in the end very rewarding parts of the job.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked the video. More Lion Build videos will commence on Sunday 5th Jan.

Nice job on the wheels too.👍
Nigel, you have my total admiration for the patience you must have in making these wheels.
Thanks Donald, the admiration is mutual.
Love the looks of these spoked wheels
they came out well. that must be a big job done.

Yeah, it seems a daunting job but once you get into it its very therapeutic. Thanks for watching.
nice job looks like it takes some time to get them looking good
Allot of therapeutic time makes nice looking parts. Thanks foe watching.

Yeah, glad to be moving on to the axle boxes, axles and crank.

That was a Passionate job! Impressive done!

Excellent work. Unfortunately I do not have CNC, do you have drawings for the wheels you produced?

LOL! There's always someone that has to point out the obvious, Good observation, I'll use longer lengths of emery the next time.
@@GoCreatehms funny but i don't see another set of wheels in your near future but i could be wrong, there's always a first time.😉
Hi Nigel, Some jobs you love and some jobs you hate. I think I know the answer.....! Regards Kevin
