The cylinders and crank are like that so the engine can start itself from any position. It is indeed very interesting and makes for the cool sound that most steam locomotives make
For those who may not know. The pistons are double acting, which means they push and pull. So two cylinder designs will have 90 degree offsets on the crank, so the push/pulls are balanced. 0°, left cylinder pulls. 90°, right pull. 180°, left push. 270°, right push. That also means you get four "chuffs" per crank revolution as each cylinder exhaust valve opens and releases the steam up the chimney. And, it also means that no matter what position the crank stopped in, at least one cylinder is in a position to start applying force when steam is applied, so it can always re-start itself (as @dakotaleker2885 said)

Seeing a roller working was my first encounter with steam.The whole process of rolling the hot tarmac combined with the smell of hot oil and smoke of the steam roller was something to experience. I always make a bee line for the rollers at a steam fair.I clearly remember a firm called Bunkems ( spelling) , in Bridgwater Somerset where the forcourt of the business was jammed full of rollers. In the early 1960's they were gradually being sold off at bargain prices. I tried to get a family loan to purchase one. Needless to say that was a non starter! 😢
Yearly inspection and steam test to prove that the safety valves work and that there are two separate methods of supplying water to the boiler. Then a 10-year inspection including thickness tests with all the fittings and tins off to fully check the boiler, followed by a hydraulic test to 150% of maximum pressure.
Wonderful. The best part was teaching the boys how to work with the engine. They'll never forget it. Most kids never get experiences like that.
Thanks for the slow running. That gives more time watching the parts moving.
Amazing and very fortunate that it operated so well after 60 years.
really cant go wrong with equipment this old, as long as you keep everything coated in oil- it will run no doubt.
After being on this planet for some 62 years that’s about what it takes me each morning to get going too.
I hear you brother.
Amen and Maranatha!
Amen brother!! This machine wakes up better than I do!!

And all I had was a 1950 REO lawnmower engine to play with. Those are some lucky lads!
Magnificent whispering mechanics! Thank you!
good video, seeing the motions of everything turning
Beautiful sound.
Dobry prezent na Boże Narodzenie !
Lovely video. I have just subscribed to your channel.
Two winters ago I retubed a Buffalo Springfield boiler( 120 1.5 inch tubes), Took 600 hr. I like your Machine..
I only have 500 hours in this so far, probably another 50 or so before I can take it out
Interesting crankshaft design-two cylinders on 90-degree crankpins.

Double action pistons was my first thought, but was not sure.
Thanks for the confirmation.
Sounds are magical
Fascinating. 👍🏻
2:55 that drive has had a lot of dry use, 😢
only just put back together, loads of movement because the bearings aren't done up yet.
Прекрасно! И дети наследуют опыт поколений и механизм не отполирован, как в музее. Это сама жизнь. Спасибо!
Einfach super bärig❤
Looks like a Hoyt-Clagwell to me
A rare bird. How many other H types survive?
4 as far as we know, only one working and 2 under restoration

So I have a question, do you use the flywheel to do work (beltdrive) or is there a power wheel for that purpose?
You can run a belt off the flywheel, there is no power wheel.

Lets wait 60 years and se a Tesla run this smothe....😅
Probably have the same amount of fire haha
What is the boiler certification process in the UK?
Yearly inspection and steam test to prove that the safety valves work and that there are two separate methods of supplying water to the boiler. Then a 10-year inspection including thickness tests with all the fittings and tins off to fully check the boiler, followed by a hydraulic test to 150% of maximum pressure.
steam test , you run boiler till safty go's off??!! what's running psi, what's safty psi blow off??
No main caps? Looks dangerous!
all the parts are there except the oilers
Kreatif,ini negara mana ya?
Hai, kami berada di Inggris.
How long till you get it "done"?
6 months until operational I hope, then another 6 months finishing off
Simple expansion?
Yes simple double cylinder compound, you can put high pressure steam into the low pressure cylinder to help with starting
@@rustywidget Oh! So, it's actually compound.
@@b43xoit It also means that there is a valve to run it as simple to start it if it's on dead center.
The nails in the wood can mess up your grates.
Bring it to speed 90 mph.
Wau
Well, that certainly was beyond boring. 🙄🙄🙄
No one asked
