.............. THANK YOU ........
PLEASE VISIT MY WEBSITE FOR LINKS TO MORE MODEL STEAM VIDEOS ON MY CHANNEL: www.mainsteam.co.uk ...... This video is a compilation showing details of the 7 1/4 Inch Gauge Black Five Model Steam Locomotive that I completed in 1993. It was built to the martin Evans "Highlander" Design. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Fond memories of being a young lad and going up to Blackgates with my now late father Dave Wilson, this engine was always one of my favourites to sneak a ride behind. Thanks for sharing.
I am saddened to hear that - please accept my Condolences {;-(((
My late grandfather bert perry was a member here & at brighouse.
I know in the 1970s him & some others tried to set a world record for continued running.
Got a photograph of them all together.
" The things you do when you're young. 39 and 75...." Love it! Never grow up, only grow old. Best wishes from the Netherlands!
Black Five, arguably the most successful British steam loco ever… and handsome too…
I had a Panasonic VHS camcorder in that era. Looking at images of the M10, mine didn't compare to that. I bet that wasn't cheap at the time.
Thanks for posting this bit of the past. I enjoyed it.
Every time I see an engine going at great speed I am reminded of my mogul picking a switch point and derailing. I stopped it from going on it's side. Your former black five is beautiful, so happy to see it. The clean up after the running is part if the fun to me.
This was truly delightful. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you }:-)))
Beautiful engine! Thanks for sharing.
WOW!!!! The evil eye of jealousy has come open. Great model Keith.
thats one great looking steam engine thanks for sharing !
Great video.brings tears to my eye's, i had to sell my 71/4 standard 5 and my B1, my god what a terrible memory realising my engines were leaving me. They went somewhere in north Lancashire.
Family comes first, I needed the money at the time towards the Mortgage deposit to buy the house that I sold last year }:-)))
Special Happy Memories there for you there. I'm sorry to hear you had to sell you Black 5 engine. Great Work and Great Video. Best Wishes Robert. ☺ 👍
yet again you have put a smile on my face don't stop doing steam best motive power in the world
You talk so positively about Bahco spanners that I just had to see what they are about. Someone had to drive them over so it took a while to get here but there are now at least 3 Bahco spanners in Texas. They are very well made. While not as enjpyable as I imagine it would be to watch a buxom woman in a small bikini use the spanners I do enjoy using them.
Greetings from Corpus Christi.
Dang!! Yeah, what were you thinking. (Har Har) I know exactly what you were thinking. I am trying to build a 7 1/2 inch gauge 4-6-2 Pacific from castings and rough parts. Great job finishing your Black Five. It is beautiful.
Beautiful work Keith!!
I inherited a Bahco adjustable from my grandfather, no idea how old it is, but could easily be 50 years. Just as good as it was new. Its outlasted numerous others I have owned. It still looks better and works better than anything else.
Gorgeous engine Keith. I love the "Black 5"
I did find it useful, and entertaining. All your videos are wonderful. There is something magical about all these machines. I don't know what it is. Thank you for that.
That really is a BEAUTIFUL locomotive! I'm on the other side of the pond but love all types of steam locos, and seems the UK steamers were built more for speed and look great doing so!
BET YOU WISH YOU STILL HAD THAT HAIR!
Cracking trip down memory lane, thanks for posting.
I still have the hair, well some of it anyway, there is a clearing in the middle now :-)))
Enough room for a vegetable patch?
Probably enough for a small Shrubbery these days :-))))
My friend says "nobody is bald, they are just taller than most of their hair" :) I like that.
“First you must find... another shrubbery! Then, when you have found the shrubbery, you must place it here, beside this shrubbery, only slightly higher so you get a two layer effect with a little path running down the middle. Is what came to mind when you said that! had a personal laugh then off to find the DVD!
Beautiful engine Keith, keep up the good work!
G'day Keith the black 5 is my favourite locomotive and I was lucky to see one in the UK last time we were over. That would have been a very difficult thing to do to sell her. Interesting how you figured out about the steam oil, now I know why you are very adamant about the oil you use on your engines. What a beautiful locomotive and it's good to see that it is still used, thank you Keith for letting us into a little bit of your past. Regards John
very nice engine and job, Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful.
just beautiful
Wonderful, love your videos.
I've had my Bahco duspital spanner for 20+ years and it still works well enough to use when a correct size is not to hand.
Aha there's the tom senior mill you told me About! They are a beast! Mine is still alive and kicking. It's sad you had to sell your engine. Great job on it matey!!
You have the best toys
Funny you look like I do in old photos
Full of fun and young
what a lovely locomotive and love the pony tail. 😃
Great video!
Nice tribute to a stunning locomotive! It's huge! It must have weighed a ton!
I HAD A 71/2 GUAGE STEAM ENGINE IN THE STATES. THEY WERE GREAT FUN.
beautiful
Very nice!
Beautiful engine
Man, that's freaking awesome! Was it a lot of work on the days you wanted to use it? For some reason I have in my head that it would be like owning a boat. Everyone gets to enjoy the rides and then you are stuck with the cleanup!
Amazing!!!
I liked the trip down memory lane show a life of passion. You should show a video of your other passion composing and making music?
Thats a beauty sir.
It ran very well too - but alas I had to sell it to raise some money towards the house that I currently still live in .....{:-)))
Awesome awesome 🤯
Keith if you got a hobby like this there is one thing you should keep in mind : Dont merry and stay single. you can buy all the goodies you like without sleeping in the doghouse. Been there done it .. i flown big scale RC model airplanes . But as Dennis Bloodnock already suggested : i would have sold the wife for something very useful for the hobby. Saves yall a lot of nights in the doghouse and worry's on excuses to come up with for why for gods sake you bought that super duper expensive engine or tool or in my case an other motorcycle or model airplane. Cheers mate.
I bet seeing that tich crash would've been great footage I woulda laughed my ass off man good times you must've had
Yes it was quite spectacular in a miniature sort of way }:-)))
nice
I miss the late 80's early 90's. good years
Nice one steam and smoke :-)
Enjoyed that. Like the down to earth approach about matters. Interesting comment about lubrication. What is the oil you use?
For the cylinders I use high grade thick Steam Cylinder oil. These days I get it from www.halletoil.co.uk
@@keithappleton thank you Keith. I enjoyed your videos about the GWR loco modifications too. I am thinking of a 7 1/4" version of the 0-4-2. I wonder what issues such may have.
I will go to the oil website and order.
I can't wait to build and drive a mini engine at mallala
Hi Keith what size is your Bahoco adjustable spanner is that the right spelling for it ?my cheapy one in had and i need to get a new one soon you love your's so they must be good thanks for all your posts love your steam and lathe video's regards Andy
The smallest Bahco spanner I have is about 6 inches long.
More fascinating than useful but then again still a little bit useful nonetheless.
As you say you sold it it would be interesting to how the engine is today.
It is still owned by the person that I sold it to, an it is stored at the Club I used to be a member of. The current owner fitted nameplates on it and painted the boiler banding.
Near where I live is a large 7.5" gauge rr with about 5 miles of main line track. (whitecreekrr.com) I sometimes think about switching to this as my hobby.
I love your videos.
Did this ever run at Dobwalls in Cornwall, during the early 90s? If so, as a kid I rode this engine!
Not sure, I sold it in 1994 as far as I can remember . . .
Fair enough!
REWARD! im still looking for a an engine
Please explain the "gauge" of your train. Is this a standard gauge among hobbyists?
7 1/4 inces between the wheel flanges. Yes it is a standard 7 1/4 inch gauge.
Is that a 'Vanderbuilt' style boiler?
? no idea ....
Hello Mike,
I don't think it is:
As far as I could find out, locomotive boilers with a fire-tube instead of a firebox, are sometimes referred to as "Vanderbilt" types. They are quite rare on full size engines as the tubes limits the grate size much much more than a fire box does. Also, the surface of a fire box is larger than that of fire tube, further limting the power of the boiler.
This construction was an economy measure to dispense with the stay bolts around the firebox. These boilers often have a conical outer shell connecting two different barrel diameters - a large one around the fire tube to allow for a larger fire tube with a big grating, and a smaller one where the smoke tubes are.
On the Black Fives, the boiler is also conical, but it has a rather large, normal firebox, so by these standards, this would not be a Vanderbilt boiler.
Sorry Keith, I had to do it.
Next time, I'll just take one of my yellow pills and sit in a corner untill the urge for lengthy explanations goes away.
I've ran a sweet pea on two wheels once. I nearly flipped it into the garden
Lovely little loco. Are there any plans to build another?
so wath kind of other engine did you have
A Midland "Spinner" (with just two big driving wheels) in 5 inch gauge, A GWR "Manor" class in 5 inch gauge and a "Simplex" also in 5 inch gauge as well as my old 7 1/4 inch gauge "Tich" that I mentioned in the video..
Keith ever thought about to buy it back ?? it must feel like your child.
cheers mate .
No ..... all things must pass . . . . . .
I would much rather ride to steam engine that a motorcycle any old day.
I just watched a video of someone who tied a couple of machine nuts to a short string and called it very entertaining. He got compliments too no less. I guess he hasn't been exposed to actual cool stuff like this. Sad.
hello my name is ivam i live in brazil i am 62 years old do you have a drawing of this locomotive for me to manufacture
www.ajreeves.com
How much would a 7 1/4 inch tank engine cost today (not in kit form)?
I was going to ask if you could guess a squeek in my own engine, but I see per your website you do not offer free advice...
