Today is a right off due to the approaching hurricane/tropical storm Isaiah. So I’m all geared up for watching this complete series again. She who must be obeyed thinks I’m insane, but I love seeing this beast grow from being a pile of castings and sheet metal to a thing of beauty. To be honest, I can’t wait for the piping (I was particularly crap at that bit, I want to learn how it should be done 😀).
Thanks Craig, was almost Jonesing, lol. Gotta say I didn't expect you to be uploading anything this weekend given yesterday's news 👍😁. All the best from 95°F New Jersey 😞🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
@@no23mk2 I feel your pain mate iv stopped work on the Britannia and started tare down of the black five Britannia has had her boiler repaired and tested is probably at the same rebuild stage as where you magnificent locomotive it at but my idea is to have them both steam together probably late next year
Great work. I see regularly your contributions. Where do you get the brass tube for the smoke box from? I hat to realize that the wider diameters usually have got a much too large thickness.
Thanks for sharing! I liked your whirling Blades of death. Not something I would think of because my mill can't be turned like that but it's a technique to keep in mind. How many rivets did you install? Glad you're safe.
That was a manky old casting for the chimney, you had your work cut out there. But you've made a cracking job of it. Well done, fantastic model engineering. I take it those rivets are just cosmetic? Oh by the way you can have the rest of the weekend off. All Best and Keep Safe.

Thank you Eduard - Blackgates Engineering rolled it for me.

Fantastic work as always, I keep forgetting to ask where you learnt your skill?
Cheers Robert. Self taught over the last 5 years with a huge amount of help from watching TH-cam videos.

Thanks Craig. 189 rivets - my ears are still ringing!

Cheers Dave - Yes rivets are cosmetic - as for the weekend off - no such luck working 7 days a week from now on so videos will be a bit sparse!
