This series must be the best explained restoration by far and the use of blue prints in an easy to understand way, looking forward to the next episode.
I may not be interested in steam engines, but i am interested in engineering/restoration videos. This has got to be the clearest and most easily understood example of that genre. The narrator doesnt add fluff and nonsense, he explains with the use of blueprints whats going on and where it is. This is a criminally under subscribed youtube channel.
After a Bad Day on the Shop, when nothing goes like should.... a video like this, makes you believe everythings possible, and reachable..... Great work!!!!!!
The amount of thought which is going into this restoration is sublime. I liked the outcome of the machining of the square replacement cap on the weight shaft, and when it does look too new, just bash it with a hammer 🤣. The loco is going to turn out better than when it was built, on a sugar mill in Indonesia she would perhaps had operated for another 25 years with those parts in the state before you refurbished them.
Hello there. It's nice to see progress. I know I am pushing you a little bit, but there was quite a long gap between last episode. Anyway, yes I am happy to see new video.
Fantastic as always!! And the big pin on the equaliser bar has given me an idea on how to make a pin on my Tinkerbell build!! Brilliant series, thanks to everyone on the restoration, keep up the good work. All the best, Matt
👍👌👏 Simply fantastic again and as always. Very well done again (video and work). Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all of you.
hello, excellent work! Even for me, who doesn't understand the language 100 percent, the pictures are explanation enough. I look forward to more videos about the locomotive.
Funny, people refer to blueprints, we always called this particular drawing the G.A., General Assembly drawing. There would be other drawings, detail drawings of particular obscure assemblys, and of course detailed drawings, dimensioned, for the manufacture of each item, including a materials list, as all steels are not created equal! For instance those load bearing pins and bolts I would imagine are EN16 or EN24 steel. Good work tho, looking forward to the next episode.
Thank you so much for taking us along! I've been working on designing my own locomotive for live steam and understanding the equalizing system has been a challange. Your explanation of the brackets and hangers has been a great help!
Good to see there are some, prepared to put in the MONEY., time and effort. A commodity in short supply here in Rockhampton, Qld, Australia. Mate and I, have been trying to just get a boiler inspection done, on a Marshall Steam Roller, 61/2 ton, belonging to the Council. We know what needs to be done, but need the Boiler Inspectors "Authority" to do it. Hence "Approval" down the track. Both in our later tears ( mistyped tears, mean Years, but it seems more correct) of "doing stuff". No one is interested, cares, or could just give a shit.

Thanks for that Bob. I’ll try and get the next one edited a bit quicker! 🙂
Another superb update gentlemen - Thank you so much for sharing this restoration and excellent engineering skills - 😀😀😀.
A truely amazing job. Also a testimony of past and recent craftmanship.

Sorry. Tugs forelock. Hangs head roooly low. Hits Subscribe button, with guilt ,malice and purpose.
Finalllyy, ive been way to impatient for an update 😂
After a Bad Day on the Shop, when nothing goes like should.... a video like this, makes you believe everythings possible, and reachable.....
Great work!!!!!!
This is such a thorough and well thought out restoration! That 13 minutes went by in a blink, the narration is superb 🙂
He he, thanks for that. I wish it was as fast to edit em! 😂😭
Amazing content and presentation. "The only difference between men and boys is the price of our toys." So looking forward to steam.
Fascinating, details we never normally get to see and appreciate.
Also in this episode continues to amaze me with the craftsmanship, knowledge and skills. Seen on 5/3/2022 at 5:57 PM.
Nice way to use that CNC machine to make that crude bearing block look the the original one
Fantastically shot and narrated one of the best stream restoration vlogs out there
Nice dedicated engineering.
Neil has done good machining and saved quite a bit in costs.
Very clear explanation of the processes involved, drawing to material and back to drawing. Looking forward to the next episode.
For those hard working hands ,I can show my respect by subscribing...

THANK YOU. REGARDS RICHARD.
I do love this. Your explanation of what’s happening is brilliant. Really enjoying watching.

Fantastic skills , so satisfying to watch !!
I was wondering when the next instalment would be Simon 👍 brilliant narration again. Can’t wait for the next video. Keep up the good work everyone 👍
As usual, fantastic work. I wish I could come and help!
Great to see each step and hear the thinking behind it👍
Fantastic as always!! And the big pin on the equaliser bar has given me an idea on how to make a pin on my Tinkerbell build!! Brilliant series, thanks to everyone on the restoration, keep up the good work. All the best, Matt
Fascinating series, thank you!
Great progress ,and very skilled work ,Thanks for sharing .

Very good work gents!
This is the most wonderful series of videos. Bravo to the skill and efforts of everyone!
Great work👍👍👍
I enjoy these videos so much. Thank you for making them. This loco will be one fine machine when completed.
Excellent progress!

good video all ways interesting

Excellent video , Proper engineering !

Thanks Marc! It won’t be too long before the wheels go back in and the springs can be fitted. That’ll hopefully show the whole thing very coherently 🙂
Great to see the engineering skill that goes into a restoration and superbly explained and presented too. Looking forward to the next vlog.
Very interesting video, thank you.

Nice work Simon do you think Tully will steam again
