    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.

    • @TheModelav8r

      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.

    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. They make a very satisfying sssffffP! sound when the Regulator is opened.
    Great camera work.
    Thanks

    • @TheModelav8r
      @TheModelav8r  4 роки тому +6

      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. This gets the fire going well before putting on the coal.
      I always use rain water as this prevents scaling and have an in-line filter to remove any debris and the larvae.
      I am not familiar with the centrifugal spark catcher. I will have to look that one up.
      I have PNP vacuum brake cylinders on my driving truck and on my carriages
      And yes looking to buy the Snifter valves from SRS
