This is "STEAMING THE TWIN TANGYE TYPE MODEL STEAM ENGINE IN THE GARDEN" The engine was rebuilt by myself a while back and I thought it a good idea to give it a steam test. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Indeed, poetry in motion. Thank you Keith. Cheers.
Beautiful restoration and running Keith ❤ it
Thank you }:-)))
Not just useful, but as a mechanic of gasoline and electric driven motors, highly entertaining and fascinating. Makes me want to get into steam engines.
Ok, I work 7 days a week. Usually 10-12 hour days. But at night when I’m trying to get my mind off work, I watch your channel. Someday, if I don’t die before I can retire, I’m going to build a steam engine. It takes me back to my youth when hit miss engines were common place pumping water lines and water and oilfield pump jacks. A lot of folks don’t know this but hit miss engines could run off of natural gas blow off or the gas you often see burning 24-7 in oil fields.
The editing you did at the end to magically mop up the oil dripping down from the crosshead slide way was sublime. Good job done there Keith!
+voidmansions hahaha - well spotted :-)
Very nice work. And yes, I did find it useful and interesting. Steam power has a poetry and beauty all it's own. Thanks from Washington State.
Very nice! I had a Mamod as a boy. Combined with various Meccano bits it could drive a dynamo or be a steam-powered crane. Happy days. Best regards, Rob
What a pretty little engine. Thanks for sharing!
I could watch this all day. Superb engine.
One of the most beautyfull pieces i ever seen..... congrats and thanks for video
Very useful, Mr. Appleton!
Smashing engine Keith. I really like this one
The brown and gold look nice and I love the sound brilliant engine congrats
I really appreciate the good audio quality. Great Video!
Always fun to apply live steam and see what you get. Engines that you think are perfected when running on compressed air often disappoint when they get a taste of real steam. Nice engine!
Looks perfect and sounds good. Thanks.
A truly elegant engine!
What a Gorgeous engine-!!!! And your builds are Incredible-!!! Had to Sub and Thank You for sharing your work-!!!
If you're an trainbuff, its a firebox, but its the same as a fire holder, it holds fireable materials that can be used, like coal, charcoal, wood, or oil in some. Petrolleum is used in diesels.
gorgeous engine.
What a beautiful engine
I call this functional art.
very nice
Way cool!!! Thanks for posting!!!
nice work indeed
Absolute wonderful. A really nice enigne model this is :-)
You mention running low pressure because it has brass cylinder bores. I see a potential issue with this. Low pressure steam in the boiler is very wet, meaning that you will get much more water in your cylinders, washing away the lubricant, probably causing even worse damage than high pressure would. I would run higher pressure in the boiler and set a lower pressure in the line to the engine with an in-line regulator, eliminating the excess moisture. I hope you find this helpful. Just trying to help out a fellow steam buff.
it really doesn't work like that ...... wet steam & water both act as a lubricant too, neither will "wash away the oil" . . . . look at the little Mamod steam engines - they don't have a displacement lubricator but they seem to work OK ....... }:-))) I think that I mention not using very hot superheated steam (as in a radiant superheater) on Brass engines - it has little to do with the steam pressure.
Wow! Great! Lots of scrap Brass to melt down and make into something cool!
LOL I'm kidding very nice work, seems to run pretty good.
A well made by hand Boiler & Steam Engine. For it is very quiet running.
hi love your videos want to make an engine my self not much money to buy one how do i work out the concentric size thanks for the vids
Concentric size ???? I don't understand . . . . please visit www.steamclinic.com
Nice
Beautiful engine! What is this component that the right cylinder valve rod passes through, that the left cylinder doesn't have?
It is a water pump for feeding the boiler.
This is something I would like to install on my engines, and it is a clever way to do it. Thank you!
Hello, I have a D6 Wilesco engine and I was wondering if I got the D21 gauge/safety valve adapter if I could put it on with the 5mm to a 6mm adapter. Does anybody know?
great vids i think of my younger days at the boys club, do you have any of the engines for sale?
A good friend of mine is going to be selling some excellent engines very soon, I will be making a video about them ..... and they will be on my Mainsteam Models Website in the "Used Models" section: www.mainsteam.co.uk
thanks i'll keep an eye open daily
I'm new to steam engines, but I have a rough idea about how they work in general, but one thing I was wondering about is if the steam input is constant or if it comes in bursts?
The steam pressure fluctuates but is in a constant steady supply relative to the heat applied to the water in the steam boiler.
Is the direction of rotation dependent on the starting position or is there some mechanism to force it to revolve in one direction only?
+TemplarX2 The direction of rotation is relative to the position of the slide valve eccentrics on the crankshaft.
Keith Appleton thank you.
Is it possible to drive any other advice with this engine? Is there enough steam power?
+pittyone It's more of a show model as I mention in the video - but it would drive a dynamo easily .....
It is quite a pretty engine, even if it isn't that useful.
fab
"I need to keep the temperature low So I don't damage the brass cylinder bores." Is this true? What are the pistons made of? I run an engine that's not much bigger, a Twin 1902 Toledo Steam Carriage engine (cast iron), I've never heard the idea of the temperature of the steam to be a big deal as long as you have good steam/cylinder oil.
Brass engines & pistons will not stand high superheat - cast iron will - if you don't believe me - superheat a brass engine (with a proper superheater - not a simple steam drier) and see what happens . . . .
Interesting, so were brass piston/cylinders were not really used for working steam engines historically? Just for shiny models mostly?
I would like to have a boiler like that. Did you make it?
No, I don't make boilers.
where did you get your boiler....I want one!
I have had it for quite a while, I bought it via a friend of a friend . . .
any idea how much torque something like this produces?
no idea but it hurts if I stick my finger in the works. Steam engines are good at Torque, maybe an expert viewer can tell you .....
how many horsepower would it be? And what vintage?
Probably 50 or 60 years old, very little horsepower, it is definitely a model engine.
@:50 "The flashpoint is far too high". You mean "too low". ;). Great videos, thx.
Oh No .... surely I didn't make a tiny verbal mistake and actually got just one word wrong in just one of the 1004 videos . . . . }:-0
lol, I had to watch everyone of those videos to find a mistake. Enjoyed every one of them.
ornamental brass engine. is brass bad for steam engines? I thought that was good to buy/make them so they don't rust or something?
Brass does not wear well. Gunmetal would be a far better material to use.
oh, cool, good to know , thanx 8o) love your vids btw
hey in case you didnt know some big youtube with 200,000 subscribers used your clip in his lastest video and gave no credit the video is titled "UHH OHH .. SPAGHETTIO!!" at the timestamp 01:47 to 01:55 and the clip from your video was from 04:40 to 04:48 just wanted to tell you incase you didnt allow him to use your clip
Thank you, I have reported it to TH-cam as a copyright infringement :-)
Keith Appleton no problem just thought you should know :)
