Building A Model Steam Plant Using Two Engines - In this episode I show how I modified one of the the Displacement Lubricator/Steam Tap assemblies so the Steam Valve was on the other side. I also show in detail the manufacture of the entire Steam Turret and Whistle fittings......

I just about lost some supper through my nose when you made the "docks" comment. Gads, man, that needs a Class One Beverage Alert if ever a comment did. Beauty work on the stanchion. Looks sweet.
That's a good trick, marking a circumference by chucking the part in the lathe and holding a sharpie up to it. This kind of stuff is why I watch these videos.
'Tis difficult to determine if your motivation is fuelled by zest or contempt. Either works well and is no less enjoyable, as we watch such marvelous creations. Thank you for such efforts. Just wait until you 'discover' electroplating / electropolishing on a day spiriously influenced by the spontaneous dropping of heavy things (the adjectives are just flying today.)
Thank You!
It’s looking absolutely fantastic already! My wife has just watched this with me and is very impressed with how you have kept the valves and whistle at the front and the reasons for this; as you know my Junior Engineer is very keen to be hands on with our models and your health and safety has met with her approval!
I very nearly said "to prevent small boy's hands" from getting burned or trapped in the works {:-)))
I can't wait to see this completed, it's looking like you will surpass your already high technical abilities. But then again, the trip is more valuable than the destination. Kudos Mr. Appleton!
Never seen a spiral cut tap like that. went and googled it, that's actually pretty cool. Learn something new everyday!
That hyperactive cyclops engine still blows my mind 😱
Another tip for beginners, do not face off the end of stock which has the identification of size on it and add the material type, a couple of months down the road you may not remember its type.
Keith, your attention to detail is marvelous. I always enjoy watching your videos.
Really nice job on the steam turret. Great episode as usual. Thanks very much, as always, Keith.
Thank You Keith, this is another exciting project from you that we enjoy very much.
Your videos are very interesting Keith, I enjoy the lathe work and practicle explanations, makes any engineering job seem easy. I'm not a model builder but do build and repair things, I will have to chase you up for advice when I get my next shed set up. Please keep up the very enjoyable videos !
Chocolate teapots are useful in so far as you can get at least one (extremely nice) round of tea from a well-made chocolate teapot. Chocolate fireguards are a lot less useful!
Dalek eyepiece eh? Extrapolate! Extrapolate! :)
Seems fitting with the Cyclops engine and all.
Thanks Keith! Thanks for all your videos. Love the quality and regularity, and the dry sense of humor and the girlfriend jokes.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge
I once tried to sell my body but no one would buy it unless I threw in a free toaster oven or a socket set. I did it for a while but it just wasn't as profitable as I'd hoped.
Thats a lovely bit of wood there setting up the whole thing a treat :) Great vid as always too and abs adore that Cyclops engine
Great videos , very interesting and full of lessons
Man, that sure looks nice!
Loved the lathing, as usual. Just wish it were in real time. - I think anyone watching these vids likes to see the mechanical operations from drilling, lathing, tapping etc... and are NOT lulled into a coma by any means. - Painting may be the only exception. ;-) You can speed that up, but don't skip it. It's still nice to see such work. Thanks again for all these vids!
I have to speed up the process otherwise it is painfully slow and the videos would be far too long ....
I guess I was just saying it is not painfully slow for folks like me who enjoy the vids. I think your perspective is just different. Yur'r doing all the work, so it seems slow and tedious to you. But as a viewer, it is a source of fascination seeing all the processes in action. No biggie though. And not criticizing, of course. ---- I'm sure you have seen a "potter" working clay on a wheel... it is the same kind of thing. Watching the hands transform a lump of clay into a graceful bowl or bottle... I think it's appreciated more in real time. Akin to your lathing... just seeing the gradual movements of a machine artfully craft a lump of metal into "form"... just mesmerizing. :-)
Chocolate teapots are only slightly more useless than inflatable dartboards.
Now that is funny!!
Mmm... Chocolate Teapot
Quit while you're ahead, It's on my coat of arms
first ! that looks outstanding and you sir are one funny guy hahaha great job as always
As useless as a chocolate teapot! Never heard that one. How about, useless as a screen door on a submarine... Good stuff Keith
I know making the steam turret yourself is quicker and cheaper. I'm assuming one could buy such a thing also?
I don't think that they are a commercial item ....
Good luck trying to sell your body down the docks!! LOL.
Hi Keith, I have been watching your videos for a little over a month now, and I wanted to ask just one question. How big of a boiler would you need to get 300 psi of pressure. Basically I was wanting to know physical size and then thickness of the shell. If I ever get a lathe I'm going to make an N&W hooter whistle, and I wanted the ability to have a boiler with 300 psi superheated steam to operate it. I was just curious if it was possible to make one that wasn't the size of those on the locomotives themselves. Thanks, Chris.
I can't really answer that as boilers are not my speciality - however maybe another view knows the answer to your question . ..
I hate those variable gravity days.
hahaha - variable gravity - well put }:-)))
How do you like those spiral flute taps?
I prefer the normal type, they seem to cut better . . .
Love your girlfriend jokes
My girlfriend used to be like that crossbar: The hole couldn't have been any deeper, but she was square all the way.
Okay, no, Keith is the master here.
