4:10 She canna take any more, captain. She's gonna blow. I still remember the smell from the burning fuel. My dad has an impressive collection including this, the steam roller, traction engine and car.
I had the Traction Engine with a rod that went through the chimney to turn the front axle as it went along the fire was a box full of some sort of wadding you filled it up with meth's. I built a power station out of meccano and used it to drive a DC motor and light up a bulb lol.
I had The same one in my younger days I also had a few Accessories one was a grinding wheel and I can not now remember the others they were driven of the fly wheel with a metal belt i us to fuel mine with methylated spirits now I put a drop in my cars windscreen washer Bottle to stop it from freezing up
I have a cousin who's into those small steam deals. Total tinkerer with wood shop perfectly cleaned, you name it! ha
I have an old Märklin stationary steam engine which my grandma was given by her Austrian employers in the late 60s. My friends dad at the time patched it up a little. It still works, but could do with a little more TLC.
I have a wee traction engine by Mamod that uses the same fuel cells, endless hours of enjoyment 😀
Really enjoyed the intro seeing the restoration. I do like the mamod models they are great fun, here is the thumb👍
My shed guy Fred. Keep it moving bruva👍🌚
I have one of the traction engines probably about 45 years now still love it
Restored to glory
Oh man 😲 that is such a clever beautiful little thing 🙈😁... thank you Fred🙏🏻👍🏻 love it I'ma subscriber 👍🏻😁👌🏻
Steam is pure, awesome. Happy holidays, sir.
Bloody great fun love it, like that you forgot to open the valve. Magical steam isn’t it, all you need now is a rubber band for the wheel and your off. Great fun cheers Fred you made my day thanks 🙏
Hi Alan. You keep the steam valve closed before the run and rotate the engine to draw oil into the piston. Great fun these old engines.
@@CB-RADIO-UK learn something new everyday, thanks again for the video loved it hope you have a great new year 👍
Wow such a beautiful machine! Looking at the wheel I thought it can have a belt turning another wheel with a dynamo and make electricity.
Bit before my time but they look cool Fred
Awesome restoration there fred I got one of the mamod traction engines there lovely things 👍
I found my old 1970s Jet-X engine the other day :) Remember them ?
Cant say i do Monty.
I had a Jet-X aircraft back in about 1953 with its brown pellet , mesh and wick
The aircraft was silver balsa . We lived in Bank flats and the large house behind us had a cook and some housemaids. One day my Jet-X Jet went over the top of our flats into the backyard of the large house. An irate cook appeared at the fence with my jet soaked in porridge.
Wow! Thank you Fred. That brought back some memories. If only you could capture the unique aroma of steam and meths. Merry Christmas and good DX.
That was cool!!!
Has a similar one when was a kid. No microwaves to pre-haet the water back then. And mine didn't have a throttle.
Never run them on straight water , use a lubricant in the water such a soluble cutting oil designed for lathes, drilling and milling machines, the piston and bore will last a lot longer . I have used 3 in 1 oil in the water when I have run out of other lubricants.
That is a VERY good tip. Big thanks.
I have a SE1 , no whistle, no regulator. Less fun.
Fred. Ever been to markfield beam engine and museum in tottenham?
Hi No have not
@@CB-RADIO-UK bruva Fred. I'm starting to get the impression you don't love tottenham anymore. The tottenham that raised you. Go see her Fred, she'd love it🌚
Hi. Sadly your not wrong. When i left school i worked in Stoke Newington. I also had a friend who lived in Seven Sisters who i would visit a lot. Did about 6 years commuting up there and got tired of the hussle and bussle. Other than the odd night out in the west end ive not really gone back. Its changed a hell of a lot since then. Stoke Newington is quite posh now :-)
