Beautiful locomotive.🚂 Very good railway circuit in your garden. I congratulate you on the magnificent realization of the video.👌 It is wonderful to be able to see it. Thank you very much for sharing.👍 Greetings from Seville (Spain).👋👋👋
That is one beautiful locomotive. And a beautiful scenic route you’ve got in your backyard. You backyard railroaders are my inspiration to keep on following my dreams. Since childhood I’ve had this obsession with steam era railroading, and dreams of running my own railroad on my future property.
Thanks for your kind words. Since my childhood I had dreams of having my own railway. I did however have to wait fifty years for my dreams to come to fruition 🚂
That was a delight to the eyes to see that loco is such a good state...well oiled and shining. And before u got on to it you made sure you had the right dress and a cap...wow..just stunning
@@TheModelav8r Hi there, I have a 5” garden railway, and I’ve been trying to figure out a good way to motorise the points without physically having to get off the loco to switch them . I love your idea with the key fob. I was just wondering how it works exactly ? Thanks Will

It's so nice seeing old men re-living their childhood memories. It goes to show that life doesn't always have to be so serious and daunting all the time :)
@@TheModelav8r I'm building a 1.5 inch scale, 4-8-4 Northern Pacific. I'm just finishing the cladding (Cleading) and insulation (Lagging) for the boiler! It's a pity I can't save a pic in these responses to share. I might have a go at posting on YT. Any way I'm pretty chuffed with how that has come together. Getting info on how to do that task was difficult to say the least but lots of little bits of info eventually gave me confidence to get on with it.
Exquisitely-shot video, thanks for sharing! Looking at getting Station Road loco myself in the near future. If you don’t mind my asking, how long does it typically take to raise steam without the electric blower? Thanks!
Thanks for your kind comments. I think it would be impossible to raise steam without the blower. I had a small blower when I first got the loco and after 1 1/2 hours with it on still not enough pressure to use the locos blower.
Absolutely beautiful garden railway, right down to the remote points. I had a question for you: What are the different tubes connecting the tender to the loco for? Of course, one would be the water supply, but what are the others for?
Thanks. The two pipes from the loco to the tender are the water as you say and the other one is the vacuum generated by the loco going to the brakes on the tender.
@@TheModelav8r THAT'S why that jacketed hose with the knurled end looked familiar. It was a vacuum line! This whole setup and really neat and you did a bang up job with it. Congrats on a first class garden railway.
A very nice locomotive, I have a question: how high is the steam pressure in the boiler? What is the volume of the boiler? How do you feed the boiler wide? Do you have an injector?
Hi Kamil The boiler pressure is 120 psi . The boiler volume is 20lts and it is fed by an injector from the side tanks . Also an electric pump from the tender.
@@TheModelav8r Thank you for the information. I'm very interested in steam locomotives. I would have more questions - if possible, please send your email address.
Kamil Dylong .Sorry no email. You can find out more from the company I purchased the loco from.www.stationroadsteam.com . Also www.sevenandaquater.org. Hope this helps.
@@TheModelav8r Thank you, I thought you built this locomotive. In my country, such garden railways are not popular, so there is nowhere to find information about their construction. Thanks for the links provided.
Do you keep all your train in a different shed or the one at the start of the video? Only because I have got a 5inch class 20 witch we keep in the spare room! 👍🏻😃😂
No they wouldn’t all fit in my man cave . I have other secure and alarmed out buildings on my property. Have you seen my other video’s? You will see my Class 20 . It’s so heavy I have to keep it an a hydraulic motorcycle lift to be able to get it in and out or my car to take to other tracks.
It needs to be that big as it has a 25 litre water tank 12volt car battery, high pressure water pump, 20 Kgs of coal, tools and of course room for me to sit on it 😃
Lovely vid, beautiful loco and railway 😁😁😁 just out of interest what boiler treatment do you use for your steel boiler and where could I get it from please?
Hello Greg Thanks for your kind comments. The boiler treatment is available from Blackgates engineering. Blackgates.co uk You only need 5ml per 10 litres of water so it goes a long way. Hope this helps.
This video inspired me to make a similar custom locomotive of my own. Maybe for a tourist attraction or for economic reasons. I have a few questions about this amazing piece of machinery. - Did you build this on your own? - If you did, how much did it cost? - How long did it take you to build it? - If you had your blueprints or instructions, would you be willing to show me them?

I like your 'upside-down fire' lighting technique... ie a bed of 'large coals' in first then small coals and paraffin rag on top. I can't remember if I mentioned this method before, but the upside-down technique certainly works well with log fires (rather than the usual method of paper and kindling on the bottom and progressively larger pieces of wood on top). Upside-down = less smoke and faster lighting up. I was also wondering about using rainwater. That's got to be best eh? The only trouble is I get hundreds of those little tail-thrashing mosquito larvae in my water butt! I've been fancying a 'centrifugal' spark-catching extension to the chimney. Do you know of a source for any such drawings? Basically the exhaust passes through a fixed 'fan' shaped part which spins the flow into a volute shape, throwing particles outwards into a wider-diameter chimney (much as you will have seen on many steam loco pictures)… where the particles settle. I am wondering how coarse the pitch of the 'fixed fan' blades needs to be (45 degrees, 60 degrees?) in order to avoid excessive back-pressure and the risk of a blowback. Any thoughts appreciated. Just one more think. Is their a vacuum brake cylinder somewhere? Station Road Steam now does Snifter Valves to fit your steam chests.

Hello Stephen Sorry to say I wasn’t using the upside down technique to light the fire. The large lumps going in first was charcoal soaked in paraffin.

I've been fancying a 'centrifugal' spark-catching extension to the chimney. Do you know of a source for any such drawings? Basically the exhaust passes through a fixed 'fan' shaped part which spins the flow into a volute shape, throwing particles outwards into a wider-diameter chimney (much as you will have seen on many steam loco pictures)… where the particles settle. I am wondering how coarse the pitch of the 'fixed fan' blades needs to be (45 degrees, 60 degrees?) in order to avoid excessive back-pressure and the risk of a blowback. Any thoughts appreciated.
Just one more think. Is their a vacuum brake cylinder somewhere?
Station Road Steam now does Snifter Valves to fit your steam chests. They make a very satisfying sssffffP! sound when the Regulator is opened.
