I love this!!! Great series! Can’t wait for the next one.

Excellent

I know little about steam trains so alot of this is lost on me but if love restoration vids and cool to see something different like a train!

My only regret, is that I have but 1 like to give to this video. -Nathan Hale....probably

We had 2 Davenport Loco's here in New Zealand. They arrived 1921 and were makers numbers around the 1860 -1863 mark, running on 3'-6" gauge, one still survives somewhere on our North Island. I will try to find out more info. So I'm watching your channel with great interest.

Absolutely invested in this project. Love the way you narrate too!

Dear W2R. 👍👌👏 Well done again (video and work). 2) Great to see that everything comes apart relatively easy. 3) Please kindly allow me to ask something: WhY does the voiceover sounds as if a very low quality microphone was used? Is it somehow a technical problem? Please don't get me wrong, your voice is still very clear, the pronunciation is great and you are perfectly understandable. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health in particular.

It's the year 2024 and despite how many problems there may be with this world right now, we now finally got a video series on YT on how to restore a complete real steam locomotive - if that's not called human progression i don't know what else is!

Its called a keep plate. Not a binder.

This is like Lowbuck garage with trains!

Try using KROIL penetrating oil. It’s the best!

Is it a bad idea to pretreat things like the cylinder and valve chest nuts with penetrating oil first?

awesome! thanks

The Chinese cars are all black and grey inside. No colors.

I can't wait to see this run and potentially run alongside Maine's 2ft railways that survived

Great video

What’s the name of the video you used in the intro it looks like a fun watch

Love these videos !!!! really gives an insight to how these wonderful locomotives were constructed. Thank you for doing these videos.

I have read every locomotive book I can find but watching it in real time has made the information makes sense, thank you so much!

what is the endgoal after locomotives are restored? also about that modern gear on that axle have you considered adding an electric motor? this way if you need to move the locomotive you dont have to hook something up to it when there is no steam.

It is pretty clear that you, wisely, got some content in the can before launching the channel. I do hope you are far enough in front of us to keep a release schedule as these are very enjoyable. Let us know how we can help.

Very worthwhile endeavor, Thanks for the effort your putting in to document and share your progress. Looking forward to your future works.

Excellent work all around. Great project and great video!

I can’t wait to see these two locomotives be restored back to their former glory

Thanks for the video😊😊😊😊

I'm amazed at how many of those bolts you got off without having to resort to fire

Whenever I've seen link and pin used in the UK, they use one of the pins to hold up the link while coupling up so it goes into the slot. That way it's a pin that's risking getting crushed rather than your hand. Which is a MUCH better way of doing it.

I saw where some metal had broken off inside the cylinder bore at the front due to rust and why were you blown away again on how clean it was when that was the first time you looked in there and how can it be clean then there is rust in there caused by steam throughout the years of usage.

Great to see another update, keep them coming!

You probably don't need the disclaimer on the intro to the video, because I've found those rarely stop people who are going to comment anyway, and all the professionals learned from experience anyway like this project. haha

Very cool, but the unique terminology for every friggen nut, bolt, and part on the loco is making my head spin. How come a crescent wrench is your main tool? And how do you get away without using a penetrating oil on all those rusted nuts? WD-40 is NOT a penetrating oil or any type of lubricant. It is a water dispersant.

Thanks for the video😊😊😊😊

This is very educational!

One of the coolest videos out here! Can’t wait to see this fire up and run!!!❤❤❤

Another fantastic video! My little 3” Scale Porter Butter Pig just got done hauling roughly 5K passengers in ten days at The Great a Dickens Fair.. Porter Power my friend 😊🚂💪 Keep it up, we’re all excited!

I'm loving this series. Hope you are having fun with the work and that you find some steam excavators and other steam tools to have with your locomotives.

For your old conventional head gasket, I'll guess it's partly asbestos...

I can't wait for what comes next! Awesome work so far mate!

Im seriously in love with this series. I love the breakdown and explanation of each step you take. Im excited to see the Journey!

Very cool that we get an in-depth look at what's what, but it is a bit hard to know what part you are talking about unless I already know what to look for. Even a simple crude arrow placement would do wonders I feel!

Sooo dang awesome!! I'm loving it!!

Here again, I just wish I was there with a wrench in hand. Are you thinking to mill off the top part of the saddle and have a new casting made to replace it? would seem the easiest but not necessarily the cheapest fix. Isn't the gasket on the cylinder head also copper?

Love your Videos 🚂🥰

Keep up the awesome work.

The commentary was so confusing since people with no locomotive knowledge have no idea what parts you are talking about as to the undercarriage, it was better to shut the volume off at least until you were back out working on the steam engine part of it.

thanks for sharing

Way cool!

I am so glad you put these up!

Your explanations are very clear, and match the images, so the video also becomes very instructive, in addition to being very interesting about these locomotives in the process of rebirth. Thank you.

Uh oh! I interpreted your video as instructional and now I'm looking for a steam engine to restore.
