Nice car! I had a '69 Torino GT hardtop in college. Unfortunately it died of terminal rust, but it had well over 200,000 miles on it by then and still ran great.

Beautiful car! I want it

I am so proud that the loco that I built is up and running again. She has traveled many miles with me behind.

Beautiful engine. I’d love to build one

Saved me. Dealer wanted $1600 for labor for this problem. Didn’t realize how easy it was until watching. They told me the tube had shrunk and needed a new one. Such lies

La escala es de 5 pulgadas?

If you wanted a more efficient boiler, in the smoke box connect up to 3 tubes to send hot fumes back to the fire box the loop them to go back to the front. It's called super heating with way less fire burning which saves your pocket book

Thx for posting! The mill head on that model is located towards the tailstock end, I think on many other Emco lathes it is more in the center of the bed. Are you able to mill without removing the tailstock? I'm going to scour the internet until I find a picture of an Emco in a NASA lab. For your broken gear, I think that Emco lathes in later years generally used Mod1 gears. I needed change gears for my lathe, and found all the tooth counts in any module are available from a company called Maedler (MÄDLER GmbH). They are in Germany but it looks like they have an Australian distributor. The gears I bought were pretty reasonably priced, and made of what they call C10 steel. I had to bore out the hubs and make keyways, the C10 is free machining. If you need to to face a 10mm thick gear down to 8mm your diamond toolholder would be perfect. Also, for your QCTP toolholders, try milling the tool slot a little on the bottom, they machine quite easily IME, gives 3-5mm more space for tool height w/o getting too thin.

Clean Torino great cars.👍💯

Glad to see someone else building one. There isn't much about these. I am part way through one as I bought a rolling chassis and am in the process of building my own boiler, which is a bit of a learning curve. Like you i have too many projects and that work thing gets right in the way. Look forward to seeing the next vid.

Sorry I lost the will to live listening to your commentary !

Hi DustinOz76 - we're part of a campaign that's aiming to showcase how important Cockburn Sound is for fishing, boating, windsurding etc. We'de love to be able to use this video to showcase how important the Sound is for family sailing experiences - would you be happy for us to do that if we credited you? Thanks!

Nice! Hardtops are nicer than fastbacks. I’ve got a 69 gt hardtop. 351w 4v 4 speed car. Had some kind of special color. According to marti report, it’s 1 of 21 like that with the color

UP 4015: It appears you’ve bitten off more than you could chew. I’ve always taken care to do no such thing, and by my calculations, I’m not even in danger of doing that right now. Every diesel locomotive in the cavalcade: Okay, Granpuff.

Exactly the same problem, and your video was SO helpful!! 2012 Touareg.

You're a life saver! Solved the same way! Thank you so much!!

Very excited work friend, keep up the good work

I see so many proud people posting their sailing experiences but please, please guys trim your sails properly. The boat will perform so much better and be easier to handle when the wind picks up. I constantly see creases in the luff of the jib and main and also in the foot of the main, Put more tension on the halyards and outhaul just enough to remove all creases in the sail but not too much that you cause a line to run down the luff or the base of the main along the boom, A perfect set sail and a well tuned rig makes a boat look simply beautiful when it is sailing as should all sail boats.

Brilliant. Exactly what was wrong with my 2012. Came out of the blue. Stupid system for such a high end vehicle.

Really nice car. I had a 70 cutlass convertible I had to sell about 5 years ago and it killed me but unfortunately I needed money for a new house. I am actually picking up a brand new 2024 BZX4 😂 ALL ELECTRIC. So we both have new cars only about 55 years apart. I actually turn 55 on the 25th of this month. PLEASE keep updating us with videos. Enjoy it. I’m sure your son will love taking rides. My best memories were when my kids were younger in my convertible. Enjoy and good luck. Really nice find…..

Dustin, did you have water coming down both sides, or just the one? Mine has started to do this on both sides at the same time

Nice video dad👍

Interesting. I’m having the same issue with mine. Agreed to pay diagnostic fee at dealer on last service and they couldn’t duplicate the leak in the trunk but that’s exactly my issue so I’ll look into this myself. Thank you!

could you please speak loudly and into the mic and also kill the music. You are very hard to hear.

Why did you not use girder stays ?

My dad used to tell a story about when he was 18 and living in Oklahoma, he took a train to Linn, Washington to make wheat harvest out there. His train had to pull onto a siding in Wyoming to allow the "biggest" train engine he had ever seen pulling at least a mile of train cars as it passed his train. He later learned that it was a Big Boy engine that he had seen. He enjoyed telling his story of seeing it. Fast forward to Sep 2021. I live in Beloit, KS and I heard that Big Boy # 4014 was coming to Salina. Figuring that it had to be one of the engines that dad had seen, my wife and I drove to Salina to see it. I had heard that it was going to pass through St Marys also, so I told my son Alex who teaches school there about it so he took his class to the tracks to watch it pass. The sounds and the rumble at the crossing as it came into Salina is someone that I won't forget. Dad never knew which Big Boy engine he saw in Wyoming but I will always think it was UP 4014 that three generations of my family have witnessed it puffing steam and pulling hard into our memories. Thank you Union Pacific for completeing a 76 year adventure from my dad to me to my son.

I was just thinking what if the UNITED STATES Recall the USS Missouri, with upgrades she can show the Houthis just how they fucked up.

Feel the coal to her. We love our train videos in Clemson SC, Go Tigers! Keep it up

The King of Steam never Gifs Up!!!! And Shows His true Steampower!!

Esas maquinas hoy son solo chatarra de museo

Most beautiful piece of mechanical engineering in the world.

Interessantes Projekt, Danke fürs zeigen 😃👍😃👍 MfG Thomas

Diesels: WE are stuck on this hill ... Dispatch: No worries ... help is on the way ... Just look for the smoke and listen for the whistle ... Smoke ??? Whistle ??? What is coming ??? Dispatch: You'll know in a few minutes ... Diesel: I just thought I heard a steam whistle ... "Bump" ...

Nice work

Very nice. I have the same one but without the gearbox. I change my gears manually.. Also don't have the vertical drill/mill.

Good video and good machining.

Is that noise an auto pilot? If so what are you using? Thank you🌻

Lovely job

The Stevenson type of boiler is difficult to make and often causes problems. I have designed and made a gas fired boiler for two of the 3 1/2" G locos I have made in my shall workshop These are based on the Smithies type where the steam raising is in a simple pot housed inside a larger tube. A gas burner is housed under the boiler so the heat surrounds it. I use a cannister of propane mix with Butane housed in the tender and it steams as well as a Stevenson type

I am building a Virginia at present and enjoyed your video. I can make a few comments. The LBSC design is fine and has worked well over many years. Copper is used as it is easy to work in to the flanged plates required which are then silver soldered together. This design is over engineered and has a structural failure pressure of some 600 PSI I have never heard of a model boiler failing structurally as the working pressure is very low at 8o PSI. I had a blow down valve blow out due to the brass de grading and become weak with age. I was driving the loco which was a Highland Lassie pacific . It was a shock but no harm was suffered as the jet of steam and hot water was kept out of harms way. The boiler pressure quickly fell and the loco stopped.. It would be interesting to hear of other experiences of boiler failure on a model .

If I were to forward drawings for a U.S. prototype, 4-8-2 boiler in 1-1/2" scale to be done in the correct grade of copper would you provide a quote? Thanks.

Love to see the young one into trains

Both the guy hiding behind the landscape at 00:56-01:04 (as well as 2:01-2:11 and 2:59-3:01) and the gal dressing like Rosie the Riveter at 1:31-1:139 and 2:56-2:58 (as well as both of them together at 1:05-1:08 and 3:40-3:44 ) are my colleagues at the Historic Ships in Baltimore.

Thank you for this post of all the trains 611 1218 is another powerful train even 1151 on the top of the hill you posted I hope they get both of those trains going too

Looking forward to seeing you cover this build project! Hope you keep up the Virginia project as well! Bill

Truly amazing…..

Bro , where I can buy this casting and plan's

Thanks for letting us see your progress!

The diesel-electric here is basically providing electricity and air brakes. It is not running its motors. This is all the Big Boy.
