hello where did you get your blower from? i recently purchased one of these locos but i cant find a blower anywhere and ones people give me links to are out of my price range
Im building a baker valve gear Juliet. I have also built the slip eccentric version. Appears to run better in forward gear which I have heard is normal for this version?
Hi. Yes, it is a bit jerky in reverse, but I'm not sure if it's normal for baker version. Most Juliets are being build with Stephenson valve. Good luck with your build.
@@TomaszOsakowicz No worries and that's what I use. But find it takes a bit to light and not very much smoke from it. Have you tried the soft Welsh steam coal?
That is a well made Juliet! She definitely runs great. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for your comment. I'm glad that you like a video.
Nice to see a lbsc locomotive built to the words and music. Not some monstrosity some turn out ! Excellent work. Ps have built two .

Hi. I've made it myself. Electric motor of ebay and scrap laying around the workshop.

Nice loco! I have a Juliet too and I love mine. Yours is painted and finished very well.
What coal are you using?
Thank you Matt. I'm using Welsh anthracite.

@Matt Seymour she has only been steamed twice. Once in a club and second time in my garden, both on anthracite. I've never tried anything else.
@@TomaszOsakowicz That's fair and enough and worth trying other coals or mixing some together like 50/50 anthracite and steam coal.
Juliet looks like Lady
