Me again. Love the wood as fuel rather than gas like a lot of the builders use. Best steam engine I’ve seen on here. Looks and sounds real efficient. You sir, are not only a craftsman, but an artist.

In the UK, many of the previously axed lines are being brought back into use or bought by charities and opened up as steam railways. There are hundreds of locos being restored. The age of steam is not dead..at least not here 🇬🇧👍
La Barone many rail beds turned into walking trails are still owned by rail companies and can have new track layed whenever they want as they still have the right of ways.
Steam is alive and well here in the US, the largest steam locomotive in the world is almost out of the shop, and the Union Pacific 844 is always running.
@Soreofhing no, en ese tiempo las malvinas no teninan nombre. Y cuando se desato la guerra por las islas los britanicos estaban que no aguantaban, y si Argentina hubiera aguantado 3/4 meses mas de guerra las Malvinas estarian habitadas por Argentinos.
Love it. I use to restore model T’s and old stationary farm engines with my son when he was 6 years old until he went off to college. We always meant to restore a steam engine but never had the opportunity. He is 39 now, and an electrical engineer with a PhD. Had chosen to work with high school kids and taught robotics and electronics before becoming a superintendent. I always believed his early start with mechanical fun gave him the foundation. Love your dedication and talent.
It would be really cool if you gave it some fun and classic steam locomotive features, such as lamps and a headlight! This such a charming machine, I love it! The whistle is beautiful too.
Have operated stationary and mobile steam engines over 12 years and have to say this is a great piece of engineering and machining. Great job, Keep up the steam work.
Mr Rossco,You have done a magnificent job with this project!That is one of the coolest things I have seen that is steam powered.Your asking price seems VERY low considering the work you have put into it.There are miles of unused track around here I can imagine myself riding along.I appreciate your imagination and talent.Thank you for this posting!
What a fine machine you have made there! I really like all the details; the explanation of the features was interesting. Thank you for the video. No doubt whoever bought this from you is enjoying it.
Now, this...is the real "Steam-punk". Accept no substitutes. An original thing of beauty. Enjoyed this a lot. Yeah, the whistle is the coolest part, indeed!
As a Mechanical Engineer, this is meat and potatos! I love it! Would love to ride on it. Also, you are not tied to gas or oil. It will probably work with charcoal too.
2:09 This is a great piece of work. I love the I love the whole steam locomotive. This is I am very proud of this. It's a lot of engineering and work for this. And I am so proud to see that these are now for. Really useful think these steamworks motives should come back to life and keep running
What a delightful practical railcar! Steam locomotives are by far the most interesting trains to watch, mostly because they're so mechanical. It's neat to see the machinery at work as you chug along. :)
In 2020 I am late to this party, but think your steam speeder is way cooool! I wanted to get a speeder in South Dakota couple of decades ago, wish I still could. A steam version is very nostalgic and fun! Hope you are still having fun with it. Loooove the whistle!
From a retired pipefitter in England, much respect. That looks like screwed barrel pipework, over there NPT threads. We used BSP, it was always a problem trying to find conversion fittings if we had to hook up to American equipment. And why did he build this? Simple, because he could. Superb stuff.
For me, it was putting the engine together from the ground up ...I was watching how the engine was with all the moving parts ..that was fascinating for me
Wow.... What a great video with clear chugging sound from the cute little engine. Sounds just like my first Model A Ford engine idling with a straight pipe and no muffler.
I steamed 600 p.s.i. 850℉ superheated "M"- type boilers in the Navy producing 60,00 shaft horsepower, I'd trade all that just for an hour with this sweetheart of a plant- well done! ☺
Awsome!!!!!! I need to build one of these!!!!! Ive seen speeders come through Tamaqua, Pa., they were gas or deisel though, i love your steam powered unit(especialy the whistle)! Simpllicity and practical...im thinking of running steam to generate electricity for my house. Gasoline is getting WAY too expensive lately, plus i live in the Anthracite Coal Region(free coal!!!)

A true thing of beauty. Thanks for the fine video. I think this sort of machine is what gets "steam" in one's blood. You never get cured of the love of it. What a delightful machine. You make every steam punk lover proud.
Beautiful job, and runs nice too. Amazing you found a place to operate it. The ball of the rail looks pretty rusted. Doesn’t look like it’s a regularly active line.

Thank you for sharing. Presume you need a boiler inspection and operators license? It is amazing! Great engineering.
Oh now that looks like a fun way to spend the afternoon. Years ago as a much younger fella we used to do that and called it tracking, but we did it with automobiles.
Absolutely amazing. The amount of power it has is amazing also. Beautiful project and you certainly can be very proud of it. Thanks for sharing the video.
Well Done, I have been looking forward to seeing the final project completed since you posted the framing video. my goal is to one day have you make me a boiler and Engine Set. Here's hoping we are both still around. thanks for all the videos
I hate walking trails. Boring with nowhere to go, just straight ahead. They should leave the tracks as they are and make a walking trail beside the tracks for people like you, with some ingenuity to do things that you enjoy without causing trouble. I mean, with this thing you could travel for miles. On foot, you'll be lucky if you can cover 5 miles as a sightseers. Tgat the tracks remain there for another 100 years is not going to harm anyone, does it? I'd rather see rail tracks than gravel. Besides tracks can come really handy to transport screening and gravel along the tracks to make and maintain walking tracks.
Never let on that you're enjoying yourself in the presence of gov't employees... They will typically do everything they can to ban or heavily tax whatever it is you're doing at that moment.
Excellent video. :-) I expected your engine to turn on a curve, and see how the wheels allow (conical wheels). Most locomotives have 3-4 on each side and I always thought, the bogie might have a fulcrum facilitating the rotation. Nice whistle.
Nice job,looks great sounds good and the whistle is awesome, all round you’ve done a great job. I guess you must be a mechanical engineer by trade.👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Your project is amazing. The finish is very beautiful. I noticed that the drive wheels are spinning. I think the weight is uneven. It would be nice to ballast the front.
Very beautiful design! Couple things I ponder about it: Why does it "idle" in neutral for most of the video? I don't see any reason for it to do that, a steam engine is able to deliver torque (and tons of it) from stopped, it doesn't need to be turning and then start moving the vehicle with a clutch like an internal combustion engine. I could understand for something like this being able to de-clutch it to demonstrate (or test) it running without moving, but to me it makes more sense to have a simple dog clutch that would be engaged or disengaged with the engine stopped, then just add steam and drive off with the engine engaged. The second question is similar, why is it geared so low? The engine looked like it was running pretty fast at only a walking pace, given how much torque even small steam engines can give I'd think this could be more effective if geared a bit higher, give a higher top speed and run more efficiently. Though I'm not sure if it's a record category anyone would keep track of, I think this could probably qualify as the world's smallest full-scale standard gauge "steam locomotive."

Las Malvinas son Argentinas
Speaking of steam do you know if the Flying Scotsman is still running?
Steam is alive and well here in the US, the largest steam locomotive in the world is almost out of the shop, and the Union Pacific 844 is always running.

You hit the nail on the head I’m a retired railroader and a navy veteran who was a boiler technician in my navy days
Thank you for your service!

Umm. This would just be called steam powered . Not steam punk. Steam punk is a specific thing.
@@jamesbizs Which is what any Steam based object is apart of.....look into it more.
@@hyperionwhitestar1453 it doesnt fly, is not wastefully leaking steam and doesnt even have obnoxious cogs everywhere
It's clearly not steampunk!
For it to be steampunk it has to be stupidly unpractical and devoid of any intelligent engineering.
Rossco, you are true steam craftsman, and I suspect an ole railroader at heart. Beautiful!
Probably the smallest standard gauge steam locomotive ever constructed. I love it!
As a Mechanical Engineer, this is meat and potatos! I love it! Would love to ride on it. Also, you are not tied to gas or oil. It will probably work with charcoal too.
You forgot the crossing signal. Two longs a short and a long on the whistle...😁 Very nice !
That is just about the coolest shop project I've ever seen on TH-cam!!!!! Way to go Ross! Just found your channel!!!!
Wow, thanks!
I do not allow advertisements on my videos. While viewing my TH-cam videos do advertisements come up?
@@rossbendixen Ross I use TH-cam Premium which allows me to see all videos with no ads so I can't answer your question.
A gentleman whom I knew in the 1970's built one of those with a Stanley Steamer engine and vertical boiler. He lived in Santa Cruz County, California.
Awesome. Reminds me of the engine on the African Queen! Would love to see this on a boat!
Great movie still to this day

I was thinking the same thing, at least he doesn't have to kick it so it doesn't explode!
YOU GOT TO BE SOME KIND OF MECHANIC TO BUILD THAT; WELL DONE!

was waiting whole time 4 him to show us how fast it can travel,,
Cool doesn't even begin to describe this. It is beautiful. A work of art.
I would wear an old-timey Victorian get up, and act like I invented the concept of rail travel, if I had this.
The entire time I was watching him do his walk-around, I imagined a high-speed liner coming through at 100 mph and smashing his creation......
Lmaooooo
The way you think is related to depression!
lol me too
Nah did not think that
Same
WOW what a breath taking piece of machinery thanks for leaving the video up after it sold its still so cool to see.
Imagine travelling with this peacefully and suddenly a train appearing coming across u.

i am impressed that you built this from the ground up !!
I had to start with the railroad wheels. That took about a year.
For me, it was putting the engine together from the ground up ...I was watching how the engine was with all the moving parts ..that was fascinating for me
Wow.... What a great video with clear chugging sound from the cute little engine. Sounds just like my first Model A Ford engine idling with a straight pipe and no muffler.
What's cool about this is that tripple expansion steam engine.
All of this is the coolest thing I've seen all day.
That's just too cool!
I agree!
Yeah!
Vot see on alles ajalugu. On mida vaadata ja mõtiskleda seal juures!
Agreed. dccrosley.
Hey, that's SWEET! thanks for putting it on TH-cam.
that is a BEAUTIFUL whistle. Wow.
Beautiful thing and a fantastic whistle!I'd love to hear it and expect a Hudson only to find your VB chugger rounding the bend!!
Hell yes. Rail Karting with steam like the old days. I love it brother. She looks heavy.
I steamed 600 p.s.i. 850℉ superheated "M"- type boilers in the Navy producing 60,00 shaft horsepower, I'd trade all that just for an hour with this sweetheart of a plant- well done! ☺
I steamed 1200 psi Babcock & Wilcox boilers in the Nave producing 280,000 shaft horsepower and I would trade that also. Thank you for your service.

Thank you! I really appreciate the feedback.
Beautiful little steam locomotive!
The timing on the valve motion makes a wonderful sound.
What a fun and fantastic piece of homemade steam engineering!!!
I envy you, I have always wanted to make a mechanical sled like that and go down the tracks. The whistle is spectacular. Thanks alot for sharing.

Took humanity centuries to invent this, and this guy can do it all by himself as a simple "project."
Wonderful!...job done, compact, therefore lighter, and pleasing to the eye!
Straight forward and well done! Any Brit who sees this will eat his heart out.
Amazing. Hope you have a chance to share at a public display in the future. A joy to watch.
Some virbration but absolutely awesome. This is how men created a steam locomotive. Keep doing it!
EXTRAORdinary! Unbelievable! You are a GENIUS!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing your splendid craftsmanship. The kid inside me is doing cartwheels.
That man is a mechanical genius!
What an AWSOME build you have done. Great work. Whistle sounds great. Boiler not too big. Forward/reverse on engine without stopping.👍
Its really really beautiful. Wow love it..
Cheers from South Africa
Very simple explanation of steam engine.
Good creativity. 👌😍
6:31 whistle
Huh, that whistle sounds like an Australian NSWGR (New South Wales Government Railway) whistle.
Also, another whistle at 4:53
thx

Beautiful work! I have a single cylinder traction engine my late uncle built.
That's a brave whistle for a small engine...
The whistle is on a very brave boiler!
That is insanely cool! You are genius! It lt looks perfect. With everything so neat and precision. KUDOS Thank you for sharing 👍
Love the whistle by the way!
Nice engine, very clean set up, God bless you and your family Aloha
Oh now that looks like a fun way to spend the afternoon. Years ago as a much younger fella we used to do that and called it tracking, but we did it with automobiles.
It appears this little steam loco could use some wheel sanders. Nice workmanship on the whole project!
Absolutely amazing. The amount of power it has is amazing also. Beautiful project and you certainly can be very proud of it. Thanks for sharing the video.
that is a gorgeous piece of artwork you have created. you sir have fantastic craftsmanship!
Really hoping that's an abandon line you set that on. Awesome little engine you made.
That is so awesome I love how you can see everything working amazing work
Thank you very much!
For a every day person to make a steam engine I was impressed
are your wheels insulated one side from the other? how do you not trip the crossing?
I love it in every possible aspect, you are so lucky you have somewhere to drive that!
Awesome build, love the clutch system in the flywheel :D
We don't need no stinking badges!!!

Your project is amazing. The finish is very beautiful. I noticed that the drive wheels are spinning. I think the weight is uneven. It would be nice to ballast the front.
Very nicely conceived and executed (built)... but the reality of steel on steel is rough.
Would you not want to sit behind a buffer to protect against and scalding steam rupture? Beautiful job!
Meets oncoming freight, blows whistle. Freight train gives way.
Must be very funny first hear the whistle and then finding out the size of the train coming.

Very beautiful design! Couple things I ponder about it: Why does it "idle" in neutral for most of the video? I don't see any reason for it to do that, a steam engine is able to deliver torque (and tons of it) from stopped, it doesn't need to be turning and then start moving the vehicle with a clutch like an internal combustion engine. I could understand for something like this being able to de-clutch it to demonstrate (or test) it running without moving, but to me it makes more sense to have a simple dog clutch that would be engaged or disengaged with the engine stopped, then just add steam and drive off with the engine engaged. The second question is similar, why is it geared so low? The engine looked like it was running pretty fast at only a walking pace, given how much torque even small steam engines can give I'd think this could be more effective if geared a bit higher, give a higher top speed and run more efficiently. Though I'm not sure if it's a record category anyone would keep track of, I think this could probably qualify as the world's smallest full-scale standard gauge "steam locomotive."
That peanut whistle is just awesome.
