One would have Charles, the chauffer, polish the brass!! A steam engine on or off the tracks should have the same whistle!! All aboard!!!! th-cam.com/video/Y7QnPtkn8q0/w-d-xo.html Stay warm, Daniel!!
Be sure to visit the 2024 AACA Fall Meet, Hershey. You will be surprised what you will find for under $10,000 for the late teens to mid twenties. Other, gas and brass can be found, too!!! Good luck on your next project, Legodragon!
Looking at these cars, it really illustrates just how revolutionary the Model T was. These are works of mechanical art, and Henry Ford offered an appliance. Ford might have been a horror as a human being, but he--more than anyone else--made The American Century.
Remember, even Ford went through an evolution to get to the T. What Ford got right was a simple, comparatively reliable design in the low price range. Check out 2 of Henry's early models together: th-cam.com/video/lQVsdJIdPHU/w-d-xo.html
@@carshowreporter Oh, that's certainly true. What Ford got REALLY right with the T was it's production. Automobiles had been a crafted product, and Ford rationalized the Model T to the level of nuts and bolts, and the wrenches used to tighten them. What I found fascinating was that Henry Ford and Henry Royce were each admirers of the other's automobiles! Royce owned a Ford, and Ford owned a Royce.
Ol' Henry had to get the car right before the demand required the moving assembly line. By the by, Olds was the first auto manufacturer to use the assembly line. Henry and his engineers perfected the moving assembly line. Don't forget another Henry. Without Henry Leland's percision manufacturing techniques, which made total interchangeable parts, mass production would not be possible.
WHAT IF? What if people discovered that petrol burning cars immitted highly toxic fumes and were banned and steam cars took off?. S T A N L E Y might have become the GM of cars..with steam cars worldwide. What's a little steam? except for tropical plants growing in the Swiss alps.
Steam was a contender because of the power, but, not until the Doble was the starting sequence simplified enough to compete against the electric starter. Here is a video of starting a Stanley: th-cam.com/video/HWFe56InxiQ/w-d-xo.html

So much polished brass! And a train whistle! Come away with me Lucille, in my merry Oldsmobile. 🎶
