Super. Last time I cold formed anything over a roller it was a garden spade and I was 12. We put the piece and roller in a vice and had to wallop it into shape with a ball pein hammer. Boy did I enjoy filing it smooth!! 60 in September. Still have the spade! The school forge and engineering room was awesome. Recieved this morning, Dapol n gauge 9f. 😀. More my style, now. Take care. Look forward to the next step. Regards Stephen..... Mine is 92226.
DEAR FRIEND. YOU ARE AN IDOL. TEACHES US TO PRACTICE THE HOBBY, FOR ITS SHARING OF ITS KNOWLEDGE, FOR THE POSTING OF ITS VIDEOS AND THE TEACHING FORM WITH WHICH I PRESENTS ITS PROJECT, WE ARE VERY THANKFUL FOR THE TEACHING THAT IS PASSING US. CONGRATULATIONS
This is truly a work of art, a testament to your dedication and engineering skills 😁👍. I hope I can be as good as you and build a loco like this one day...
dear sir, i have only just of recent found this channel and would like to say fantastic. i have now watched EP1 to this EP78 and have enjoyed each one. i have now subbed in. thank you....
Thanks Adrian. I keep telling myself that - then there's all the plumbing, valves, controls, superheaters, bodywork etc, etc. Trust me, there's a few years left in this build.
That 9f looks ace, the work on the smoke box is so nice it would be a shame to paint it. Where abouts in Leeds are you? I'm in Featherstone Pontefract so not massively far away. Love the work keep the videos coming
Hey, Where you been? Waiting for your new postings. Anxious to see the progress. Hope you are okay, this 19 business is nasty. Take care, be well and safe.
Hallo... I from indonesia. I love all your project and videos. When are you going to make a water injector...?, I want to know how the water injector works
Hi, I'm not sure whether I will be making injectors or buying them. In the mean time this video explains how they work. th-cam.com/video/4wsiXPgfdlI/w-d-xo.html

Thank you Jakob. Don't worry all is well. I have been busy with other stuff lately so the 9F and vertical boiler are on the back burner. As soon as I have anything worth showing I'll be posting. Cheers Craig
@@marknewell7355 All's well Mark - thanks. Little progress on 9F since the lifting of restrictions in July. I have been busy with house renovation duties etc etc etc ! Hope all's well at your end. Cheers Craig.

Hi Craig, I hope all is well Mate? Not heard from you in a while, you been busy with life in general I guess. Anyway if its any help my company Owl Castings (www.owlcastings.co.uk) will happily provide you free of charge any castings (ferrous or non-ferrous) to help you complete your work of art. You have done the vast majority but a final push we would be happy to stimulate, steam valve wheels, just ask! Cheers, Dave.
Hi Dave, All is fine thanks. Not much 9F progress lately owing to life getting in the way. That is a very kind offer David thank you, and I will be in touch when the need arises. However, I will pay for the castings. I'll sit down with the drawings over Christmas and try and identify which castings I still need. Thanks again Craig.
Congratulations, looks fantastic 👍
Thank you Stefan.
Nicely done! I like that view at the end where you show all your work.
Thank you Craig
Hope you are keeping well during these Covid times and the 9F s coming along nicely 👍
All's well Robert - thanks.
Just a joy watching her come together.
Thank you.
A face and a number. Excellent.

Gorgeous! It's starting to look like a real steam engine!!
Cheers Terry
Wow that's awesome
Thank you.

Hey Mate,
Totally unrelated to building trains where do you get your background music from?,
Cheers,
Steve
Cheers Steve,
The music is royalty free stuff that I download from the TH-cam Audio Library. I trust that your locos are coming along well.
When do you suspect it will be done?
Another 5 years perhaps?

You know, just as a joke, you should make a second smokebox door and paint a face on it like Murdoch from Thomas the Tank Engine.
Ha - good idea!

Not so much progress lately due to other commitments. I will post an update soon.
