Hey I'm digging Plas Johnson and the Mancini, btw.

Straight flutes are what I've used, but then they were less than .200" and cutting aluminum.

Wow, yeah, hopefully they at least had earplugs in. Shooting relatively small AD rivets in aircraft repairs is loud enough.

Any status on #587nickle plate Have any thing C&O#2789

I was noticing the ring used to position the outer plate, looks like it is welded. I have seen others bolt , or make a pad eye out of the same material as the patch. Reason being to not introduce another material into the plate. There being certs or specs on the plate and rod.

I'm curious which acid you used. I've heard of HCl, HF, and even citric acid for carbon steel, but phosphoric acid is milder (even at the same pH and comparable molarity) and can, theoretically, foster a passivation layer.

Bro, these videos have criminally low view counts. Ever since your Hyce videos I've been trying to watch them all. Hope to visit you guys sometime.

My boi was really just raw-dogging that fiberglass insulation, huh? No gloves, no mask - legend.

Wow Amazing!

Very nice video! Thank you so much!

Pretty neat! Would be fun to see 2716 on the head end of that lol.

0:10 EK SUBDIVISION!!!

For my 1.5" scale LE American I used cardboard that was painted with furnace paint, super easy to install and works a treat for live steam locomotives.

Why do people use 1/4" screens when full are better? Are they trying to hide something? Do they think it looks "cooler"? What's up with this? Perhaps I'm missing something here, but it really pisses me off. Can ANYBODY give me a REAL explanation of why this takes place periodically?

Are you Jason.S?

Wow. So this is essentially fused steel to cast iron from expansion as it heated up? Incredible

I like the way you used your finger to give us the scale of the scale.

Steam guy What is the status on Nickel plate Road #587

Was this cause by the stack not being capped or not capped properly?

I've been "threatening" to write about this for months, but the T-1's were notoriously "slippery" locomotives. How have yall improved this on your new design?

If I may ask, what to you was the worst boiler you ever assisted in repairing

First to comment! Great work and thanks for the education.

Not the first time for welded barrel replacement. The Santa Fe bought new barrels for the 3765 class 4-8-4s when their nickel steel boilers started to crack. If I remember correctly from Dennis Dougherty's presentation at one of the TRAIN conferences back in the 80's or 90's the barrels were from A. O. Smith. Not all of these were installed, as the ATSF retired some of the engines before they made it to a class 1 overhaul. I will grant that you are doing the first full welded barrel replacement in the preservation era.

Steam locomotives were built back when machinery was expensive and labor was cheap, nowadays it's the opposite. Any qualified modern fabricator could probably roll and weld a new barrel in less time than it would take to drill out all of the rivets on one sheet by hand.

I didn't know new York had any grass

What about the Pennsylvania T-1 they are building from scratch?

Must be hard eating spaghetti

That was well played with the headlight/lamp.

You’re the guy that was on Hyce, right?

To actual operation conditions, or cosmetic restoration? Either way, it will look good when it’s all done!

Really has been the year of steam revival

Oh my god, it’s actually happening

What's up with 587?

Also @that steam guy there’s a grate barbershop in prestonsburg ky carbide’s barbershop a cut above the rest

cheat every chance you get

your not that far north of me i got to come up see you guys

i no its the setup thats a bitch

She's gonna be one sweet machine when you fellas get done. Off topic, What was track speed on the E.K sub? Someone should buy it lol (if I won the lottery I would) it'd be a great place for her to stretch those legs.

what are the chances that yall could recreate the Sou 2716 paint scheme?

How's it going that steam guy I love steam locomotives this is so awesome that you're bringing awesome old American steel back to life I'm one of those kind of people that looks at things differently I've always had a dream of being able to build a hydrogen fueled steam locomotive that is kind of a hybrid design but and I have some interesting concepts one of the things I always had problems with was a modern fire box design there's a guy in New Zealand that's trying to make a modern steam locomotive Or modern steam traction engine and he's using a Lamont style boiler with a very interesting firebox design that has no internet or firebox it just uses refractory material check out Maxwell locomotive works down in New Zealand I think he might be onto something also check out a channel on RUclips and a specific video the channel called why files in the episodes on killer patents Stan Meyers figured out a way to use frequencies and electricity to fracture hydrogen out of water and I found out the exact stoichiometry amount that you need to burn hydrogen is the oxygen coming off of that reaction when you use electrolysis to break the bonds between hydrogen and oxygen put it this way my friend I don't say this very often to people but I'm a part of the Republican Presidential task force I'm trying to figure out a way to end the patent secrecy act I've had my own assassination attempt so yeah this s***'s real that they're trying to suppress a lot of technology I want to use some of this technology to make a hydrogen-fueled steam locomotive that's a hybrid that has all kinds of interesting applications of modern technology the purpose of this machine is to give America a high speed bullet train that runs on steam so we don't have to put up those ugly catenary systems h y c e you just hung out with is a dude I've been watching a long time that I'm a big fan of and when they had a cursed trains episode they talked about this narrow gauge 440American type steam locomotive that they literally put planetary gear sets in the wheels and they geared the locomotive down they turned it into a geared engine like a Shea but what if you did that in the opposite direction where you had 80 inch tall drivers or 84 inch tall drivers 7 ft tall and the drive rods turn the input pinion gear or Sun gear in the planetary gear set and the ring gear output gear was affixed to the tire with the flange now steam locomotives have wheels and tires while the new one would have a planetary gear set in the tire would still be put on like that but it would be put on the ring gear output gear the trippy thing about the gear down locomotive was it how did go in reverse to go forward one set of three planet gears you could have four planet gears and the output ring gear would go forward with the same direction of the engine and if you weren't really want to get interesting and crazy with this design you can build a locomotive with an outside frame and have three gear sets on the axles so you have the one the one there goes to a 3.0 gear ratio three times the output of the rotation of the engineso if you build the modern steam engine with like titanium dry rods and using a lot stronger lighter materials so the reciprocating mass is a lot lighter you could have that engine possibly speed up to 6 or 700 RPM and then if you got a 3.0 output gear ratio that locomotive would go 350 to 400 mph and I have two different boiler designs for the locomotive I want to make steam locomotives relevant again with computer-controlled boilers and redundant systems and also a manual override if need be I'd like it to have thermoelectric effect material around the boiler then you put a heating blanket like electric around the thermoelectric effects material then the insulation then the border lagging the tinder trucks were going to be diesel electric locomotive trucks with fraction motors also it would be built off of a Vanderbilt style tender and I'm thinking about modernizing it where it has a condenser and the condenser fans are electric considered of steam powered like the South African locomotives and what would be really interesting because I want my locomotive to burn hydrogen when you burn hydrogen and it combines with oxygen you have water vapor and I was thinking about scavenging the exhaust from the stock so the exhaust of the engine and the fire would both be water vapor that you could condense and I found out if you draw the up to 10 lb negative vacuum on a steam engine it's like having a 100 more PSI in your boiler so imagine pulling a vacuum on the exhaust side of the engine and that all goes back to the tinder that has a condenser the fans are electric and on the bottom side of the Vanderbilt tinder cuz it's like a tank you sling battery packs and so when you come into a stationyou can shut off your hydrogen fire and have the electric battery packs that get their energy from dynamic braking also this locomotive is going to have a dynamic grid on the tinder that's one thing that steam locomotives don't have is dynamic braking and that's what I want to do is give steam locomotives dynamic braking those tinder trucks are doing nothing design a locomotive where the tender actually gives power an actual give dynamic braking I'm an inventor my first invention was thrust reaction are turbine that uses screw type air compressors and I have my own tank design and I modified it to be a boiler design also if you're ever curious about these ideas or if you even think that they might work let me know because my dream is to give America a high-speed railroad that's powered by some extremely fast and powerful hybrid hydrogen fueled steam locomotives I think if you build it right you can blow the doors off the Japanese bullet train possibly even the French TGV and you basically have it set up like a push-pull system where you have a locomotive on each end and their controlled through multiple unit cables and that's one thing why I want electronically controlled boilers and throttle and braking and control systems just like a diesel electric multiple unit setup if we build a modern-day steam locomotive it needs to be able to be multiple unit controlled I just know this for a fact the faster the faster these bullet trains go or even diesel electric locomotive go the weaker the motors are and the more current they draw and the faster you want them to go the more current they're going to have to pull the faster a steam locomotive goes the more powerful it is and the more efficient it is so the idea is you use the electric motors to get you out of the station and get you up to speed and the faster you go the diesel electric locomotive truck motors drop out and stopped working when the steam engine is picking up speed and it takes over past let's say 50 or 60 miles per hour at that point it's half and half you got a half electric motors pulling and half steam but once you get over 200 mph of the electric motors of completely dropped out and the steam engine going through the planetary gear sets with a higher output speed than the engines rotation steam engines have a lot of torque and it could pull that very tall gear ratio once you get it up to speed think about the locomotive like a land speed car and the tinder is The Pusher car to get it up to speed so the engine can take over because the high gear ratio but could you imagine a beautiful streamlined hydrogen-fueled steam locomotive that's a hybrid going down an elevated railway with no railroad crossings going faster than a commercial jet that would be the most epic steam locomotive on the planet and I need people like you that are good at engineering and understanding and knowing steam also exploring new technologies that could be useful in a modern steam locomotive we have a lot better bearings we have a lot better materials nowadaysimagine what we could do if you took every single one of those subsections of inventions and technologies and get them where they're working correctly and then you all bring it together and one machine and integrate it and it's going to take time for research and development but I think this would be the coolest thing on the planet sorry for the rant peace out into the world have a great day
