you have got to be a lucky kid to have a beautiful engine like that. you have no idea how many things i would give up to own a model coal steam locomotive. but if you keep to it your dreams come true, right now i am chief engineer on the railroad museum of long island(in New York, U.S.A) engine #1 a 1924 0-4-0 narrow gauge steam locomotive that was used to haul coal, the loco is wood fired. the best part is my dream came true at my current age of 15. glad to see more people who enjoy steam.
I didn't realize this was about miniatures and was a little disappointed... at first. Even on the small scale if you don't know what you are doing it can hurt you. Thanks for walking us through what it takes to get your locomotive up to running.
Thank you for posting! Very enjoyable, and I appreciate the details. Ignore the peanut gallery for saying you need to edit. Don't change a thing. If they want you to use a tripod, tell them to send some cash. Again thanks for taking the time and effort to post this great video for us.
I think what they are saying is that youtube has a feature that will take the shake out of the video. Otherwise it is a good vid for the novice steamer. Thankyou for posting, and congrats on the locomotive.
Thanks, really enjoyed your video, interesting firebox. Just wondering if you fill the boiler completely with the additive in the water when storing the loco between runs?
you do realise at about 9:00 these parts will only need oiling like every 2 days of continous use i arnt an expert lol great video i enjoyed it ps im only saying oil will get into these parts and stay in them for a while
Thanks for the video - when you were emptying out the firebox, there was some bubbly-looking black metal around the top back of the barrel either side of the regulator. Is that a bit of paint with rust under it or just the welding?
The tender does not have a tank, its really just a riding trolley that holds coal, it did used to hold water in the tender but have to fill up every lap, Besides i think it look charming with tanks and a tender something different Cheers
Hey, is there any chance you can do a video on firing up any other locomotives? I'm seriously interested. Any chance anyone else in the club would do a tutorial on steaming up a locomotive, or at least let you film them doing it? I'm fascinated, but currently don't have the money, nor know of anything like this locally. Miniature steam is fascinating to me
Man I wish that I could do this with you you seam like a awesome guy, but am in Canada :( so I can`t (Though my first cousin has live and worked in NZ and Australia she just come back from there just a little bit ago)
Not with the water treatment he uses! It's actually better chemically for the boiler if it's left full of treated water, vs draining it because the moisture that sticks to the sides of the boiler after it's drained is now exposed to all kinds of oxygen in the air that filled the boiler after it drained. This eats the boiler thickness out till the moisture finally dries out, and that could be several days to weeks depending on air circulation and ambient temperature of the boiler.
Scott Tanner "Loco" means "Locomotive" in both ways. So, it doesn't really matter which one you choose to call it. "Loco" is what I'd like to call a "shortcut" word. So, yes, he DOES call it a "loco" for that very reason.

@ 15:38, the " whistle blow ". . . that's really cool. 🚂
'Nice tutorial'. Thanks so much.

miniatures are cooler
Cool, man! Great step by step, very interesting and informative! Thank you.
what a charismatic tendertank, I wish I had a line like yours, but all I have is the local bus

I really enjoyed your video, I never knew you had to do so much to get one running

Great video! Beautiful loco. I really enjoyed your steam up process. Thanks for posting.
Very interesting. There is quite a lot to it. Thanks for posting it.
hi nice intructions and i'm in victoria Australia and I know loads of sweet peas at different clubs and they have their own way of steaming up
I Love That Railroad Trainning Video So Much Because It's Awesome To The Max!
Wow that was fun to watch. Better than TV
please make this time more time for ride in your locomotive. That will be so cool. Your locomotive is awesome bro
I take you don't need treatment for copper boilers if you blow down regular?
with many thanks always want to own run and maintain a loco of that size ,but very informative ,
Looks like the Nelson club.
Magnificent model. I always wanted to build a live steam model but unfortunately it is way out of reach financially.
Wow some dumb comments here. Very nice loco and video!

Nicely presented, thank you.
VERY COOL! Thanks for sharing! :)
I could do with getting some rags. What type of rag do you use in this video?
Thanks. Good instruktiuons, please makesome more ? Is that 12" Inch Gauge tracks or 7 1/4" Gauge ?
thank you very much 7 1/4
THIS HАCК FОR FRЕЕ SТЕАМ MONEY IS THЕ BЕST ON THE ENTIRЕ WEBSТОRE!!! >> How tо firе up a cоal fired steаm locomotivе
Excellent tutorial, Thank you.
Nukl
Excellent video, well done :)
if your loco is 7.25 inch can you come down to the Kapiti miniature railway.What club is this
Fantastic! Do you build these locomotives?
Thanks for the video - when you were emptying out the firebox, there was some bubbly-looking black metal around the top back of the barrel either side of the regulator. Is that a bit of paint with rust under it or just the welding?
Where did you get that the steam locomotive
The tender does not have a tank, its really just a riding trolley that holds coal, it did used to hold water in the tender but have to fill up every lap, Besides i think it look charming with tanks and a tender something different Cheers
hi from where did u get this steam engine or who built it for you...
How much would a locomotive like that cost and how much for maybe 200 feet of track?
+The Awesome Tropical Germinator the train cost the price of a really nice car
Yeah, if you must paint it, don't use yellow.....use blue, green, red or black.....Sort of authentic colors.
Yes the loco used to be yellow then black then i painted it green
Lovely video!

Man I wish that I could do this with you you seam like a awesome guy, but am in Canada :( so I can`t (Though my first cousin has live and worked in NZ and Australia she just come back from there just a little bit ago)
where bouts are you in NZ
do you like locomotive I do that's just to say do you know where the easiest way to get a loco was that possible
Asmr is unreal
Where abouts do you run
What scale is this?
If you're using it all the time why not leave it with water it the boiler or water wedged?
Not with the water treatment he uses! It's actually better chemically for the boiler if it's left full of treated water, vs draining it because the moisture that sticks to the sides of the boiler after it's drained is now exposed to all kinds of oxygen in the air that filled the boiler after it drained. This eats the boiler thickness out till the moisture finally dries out, and that could be several days to weeks depending on air circulation and ambient temperature of the boiler.
lovely video
Yep same in NZ leave the axle pump on or the injector on long enough you will have a nice shower!
Reply to KB The Dire wolf. There are quite a few clubs in Canada where you could become a member & get in all the steaming you want.
how much did you loco cost you, and where do you get the parts to repair it
Price of a really nice car! and make parts for it
+cobby4321 O=
Who makes this loco?
Its pretty much a T of the steam blower, theres a cap to screw on when in steam, take cap of and put air blower on to raise steam
La vidéo serait meilleure si la camera bougeait moins.
iF YOU HAD A GO PRO IT WOULD MAKE LIFE MUCH EASIER AND DO YOU HAVE AN UNEDITED VERSION AAS ITS BETTER TO SEE THE WHOLE PROCESS
why do you have side tanks on the ngine when the tender has a water tank
i didn't build this one only restored it but you will find most of the locos are homebuilt around here
BTW, i noticed the ' special orientation ' to the Radius Link. That's looks so ' unique '.🚂
why is UK 7.25 inch while US California is 7.5 inch gauge.
can you ride in that?
nvm you can...
Nice video but the camera is waving about too wildly. Spoils the whole thing.
I dont know what you call it but in england we call the water coming out of the chimmny priming
Thanks mate means a lot, only dick heads care about a tripod etc everybody else cares about the loco! again many thanks
i Dont normally, usually just blow the boiler down, but if im doing to runs in a row, then i will leave boiler full otherwise its stored dry
and maybe a tripod.. maybe a cameraman
it called a sweet William but big sweet pea is what everyone calls them
Ye its quite funny waching it but if it hit you it burns like hell
wrong it takes 2hours i drive a loco in western australia at swmea called mack steam up
Wrong, it depends on the loco in question, how warm it already is, how big it is, the size of the firebox.
Cheers
ok thanks for answearing
True dat

hey guys if you want to know how to build a steam loco im making a series on it on this channel
i advise you not to look at my other vids as there is no editing or camraman... sorry bud
hey you need to edit this video mate...
Why If you dont like it dont watch it..
that boiler is rusted and done..
How can you tell without looking at the inside of it?
lol u call that a loco lol
Scott Tanner "Loco" means "Locomotive" in both ways. So, it doesn't really matter which one you choose to call it. "Loco" is what I'd like to call a "shortcut" word. So, yes, he DOES call it a "loco" for that very reason.
Did you say stupid how dear you
