    Thank you for the kind comments. So far as I know a few people have tried and been unsuccessful with a scale model of K7 due to the small size of the intake- maybe now with newer more powerful batteries and fans it might be possible but then you still have the very real prospect of destroying the fan explosively when water enters the intake

  • @sullivanrachael
    @sullivanrachael 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    It planes rather well; well done to the builder! Great job. I confess I have an unassembled 1/8th scale glass fibre kit of bluebird - but am looking at putting a ducted fan inside; I don’t think it’s going to have enough power which is why I haven’t got on with the build. Anybody successfully made an EDF K7?

The complete hull, decks and superstructure are all made from sheet steel soldered together, the engineer was Mr Viv May.

    • @davidsteggles2444
      @davidsteggles2444 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The lower sensor is the original Cheddar Sensor, the top sensor is a replacement sensor made by Dénes, the Cheddar sensor was faulty, it worked as it should when cold, but did not work when the boiler was hot. This was a test run of the Cheddar ABC with the replacement sight glass sensor from Dénes connected to the ABC unit. The old sensor was later removed, it was only there to see if it was the sensor or the control box that was the issue, it was the Cheddar sensor that had become faulty.

    Bonjour David, This video is a demonstration of what is done in scale 1 locomotives but to my opinion, with this way of combining reverse and throttle, it is quite difficult on our small machines to find an accurate position of the valves corresponding to a dedicated speed, especially low. Furthermore, most ll of my Stepehson's valves machines do not operate exactly the same on both sides, this is why I prefer managing my steam machines with two servos. Amicalement, Raphaël

  • @davidsteggles2444
    @davidsteggles2444 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    The automatic boiler controls are used to control the boilers pressure by use of a servo that increases and decreases the gas flow to the burner. The second servo controls the flow of water into the boiler, a sensor on the sight glass monitors the water level
