Hi, many thanks :) I did mill them off, yep. I reckon without a mill, you could file some of them, but the ones on the main bearing cap... definitely a mill to remove. They do look nice though, rather than the casting. If you don't have a mill... then a lathe with a vertical slide, but to be honest... see if you can get a 2nd hand mill ;)

Hi Adam. Juliet 1 or 2? There seems to be plenty of errors on my Juliet II drawings. For first loco, given the valve gear, I'd suggest the Juliet 1. Free plans are available for this off john tom's website. This is my first build too. I wish I'd have built Juliet 1 :)

It’s a Juliet 1 with Stevenson valve gear

@@adamwachs6392 You'll love it Adam. Take your time and change nothing. Fee bits might need metic metal, but you'll be fine.

@@ianlainchbury just looked for that website is it still there because I can’t get it to work.

@@adamwachs6392 ahhh! It looks like it's been removed :(

I do like the Stuarts. I made an S50. Very nice models. Good luck with the plumbing! 😉

I get to play with proper ones now :) Not got much time with the printer anymore

@@ianlainchbury that is cool and all, but making an air engine out of 3d printed parts isnt the easiest thing, a fun challenge if you will. People have of course done it and i would love to do so myself but.. i have no printer so im stuck with grabage or lego, both have worked XD main thing for me is that nobody seems to be making engines of this vintage run on air..thats also printed.. all of the printed engines ive seen are made to be working well, not to look good and still work yk? I just wanna see something like this run on air honestly

It's a pre-machined kit from Chiltern Model Steam :)

Yes Timothy...not ideal either, but at the time, that's all I had. It seemed quite happy, but it's way too thick.

@@ianlainchbury if it's working. It's hard to argue with. Especially if it's all you had at the time. I use 3 in 1 oil on my 2 steam locomotives. And steam cylinder oil in the lubricators. So far so good. I haven't seen any adverse wear as yet. And have a few hours run time on each

Next steaming is Aug bank holiday ;)

That was a horrible job Tomasz. Turning copper is no fun at all lol.

If you generate steam with the boiler, I'd be surprised if you didn't test them at all. The boiler inspector would insist I suspect.

@@ianlainchbury we do test them. A few times a year

As per the Stuart Plans Luigi. I made a brass fitting for the exhaust port that I silver soldered the 5/32 copper tube into.

Free to download and "Print". The chap even has a traction engine :)

Something like this... loads on eBay though www.ebay.co.uk/itm/352773196012

@@ianlainchbury Thanks

Maybe. There's a similar none speaking video on CMS's youtube channel also...and tbh, it's dead easy. You can run them on a bicycle pump :) Brilliant little engines requiring very little work to set up.

Ian Lainchbury thanks!

Chiltern Model Steam. They do some great engines.... from about £120. :) Thanks

Ian Lainchbury really wow! Fantastic

Sub'd Tee's cottage guy. I volunteer at Claymills and love it there. Will check it out

Ian Lainchbury thanks!

Likewise Spot99! I didn't realise you'd seen and commented! (6 months ago!)

These ones are cracking Steven. Only built this one last year mind. Perhaps I should have fitted gears and wheels lol :D

It's a figure of speech.... if I can't recommend them highly enough, this means in fact that they really are brilliant :)

Ian Lainchbury ok Thank you very much

Hmmm, tempted Nath :) I got all the plans now, and copies of the 1956(?) Model Engineer that I might need... oh, and some steel. We'll see!

Cheers Andrew :) What's your next project? Ahhh the Hit and Miss? Have you made a start? :) (I haven't seen any notifications yet)

Hi Ian I've been tied up recently as a volunteer helping to keep the village from flooding. Looks like we can all stand down now as the water is receding. I've decided to have a go at making a Jerry Howell Farm Boy hit and miss from bar stock. I've purchased the plans and It looks to be a real challenge. It could be a long series and hope to get started soon. I just hope my little mill has enough capacity! All the best. Andrew

@@learningturningmetal Flooding has been bad for sure Andrew. I hope you haven't been affected too much by it

Thanks Ade. I'm hoping to run a few engines off this plant :)

Cheers Andrew. Lots of inspiration from you on your channel :) It's in paint now and the base is in progress. I'll upload another video when its complete. Many thanks though.

Lots to do still Nath... but it runs at least :) Base to be made, painting... lots to do.

Not much I would suspect :) The boilers are Lancashire type... 7.5ft in diameter... 28ft long and hold 4000 gallons of water. 5 of em.

Hahaha! Good thinking Nathan... put that A/C motor to more uses in one hit!

@@ianlainchbury hmmm, need a 14 foot lathe though.... Long roof 😁

Nahhhh, just a longer shaft :) You need to come and look at the workshop at Claymills :) It's marvellous

Lol. What was "supposed" to be seen, was the other Paramotor just behind my head! Must try harder next time Nathan hahaha

So are you going to take it up or if you good sub 70 snake that's now what I fly and no running on the ground

@@Jazzynet100 Maybe at some point in the future JP :) I'm still recovering from the 5k plus spent on shed 2 lol.

(...Clive Mason) is the chap who runs CM Paramotors JP. Great experience flight though.... i'll be back for more no doubts ;)

We sure were Clive. Very lucky :)

Clive bunce? As in once was chief marshal at the comp one year?

Hi Andy. The cylinder is wrapped in Sapele. This is CA glued around a 3D printed former wrapped in cling film. The strips are held with elastic bands. Then sanded and enameled with clear humbrol. The metal straps are made from 1.5mm (I think) piano wire, carefully bent to shape. If you have printing facilities Andy, I can upload the formers for the engine to thingiverse?

@@ianlainchbury No printer will have to do the engines i am working on now then the beam will get back to if i may later great work post some more of it in steam soooooo nice

@@1479andy Where are you based Andy? The cylinders on Simon's engines are all the same I think. What are you building at the moment? :)

That's lovely I am just building the limited edition one, would you be able to produce a former for me? I would love to clad my cylinder in wood

Many thanks Blue Heeler :)

Thanks Mike :) Now... I wonder what I could connect to that?...... ;)

Boiler's on order Nathan ;)

Amal Dev Hi. I only got about 9 minutes before it was at storage...or 3.8v per cell. Perhaps 12 mins to low battery. It was in GPS mode.

rhampton1914 Thanks :) It's a lovely model to fly

Thanks Ian. I must admit... the video editing side is a bit of a pain, but I'm enjoying using the Spark for aerial pictures. I subscribed after your channel was mentioned on "RC Model Geeks" latest video :) I'm particularly interested how you get on with your DW Hobby J3 Cub. Just built one and maidened it last week. It flies great! (and plenty in a 3s 1300 to be honest...keeping the wing loading light)

The Cub build is on hold at the moment and I will carry on next winter it's my first balsa build and I was finding it quite daunting and to be honest didn't know where to start first with the wings Lol

Brave man lol. Take your time..as I see you've done so far. It does fly nice. Not a trainer...but nice enough and a total bargain! I certainly wouldn't put the 2200 in there though. 6 minutes easy on a zippy 3s 1300. The only thing I'd say with the wings, is dry fit the servos... standard 9g servo's wont fit, so you'll need to modify the bays a little. Try before gluing :) And also... scrap the wing joiners! Make it from better ply, and go in one further rib on each side. It does build nice though.

They are nice little heli's... cheap too. BUT, you only have to breath on the feathering shaft and they break. And, they're really twitchy!
