- Maxitrak's south east & chatham railway R1 in 7 1/4" Gauge, this is maxitrak's first standard gauge model in 7 1/4" Gauge, large powerful model with lots of fine detail work.
Incredible how there's enough contact traction between wheels and rail to pull given its size and weight.very smart
For s small scaled down engine it has a really nice beat.
Soo much detail, wow. Shame we didn't hear the whistle
Just out of interest, how much water would you say she would use, from the beginning of raising steam until the end of, say, a 40 minute run? By way of comparison, I have a coal fired 2 1/2 inch gauge 0-4-0ST, which will typically use about a litre of water during a run of that length (as well as about a teacup full of coal (small pieces of anthracite mixed with a little Welsh steam coal). This means a 10 litre container of distilled water (bought commercially) will last me about two years' worth of runs, and my fairly modest stockpile of coal will probably last about 5 years! I suspect running a 7 1/4 inch G loco means rather more frequent forays into the market for fuel and water. The R1 is beautiful and looks like a very reliable runner.
The beat sounds impressive
Amazing! If only I had the money and the space....
yep
Thanks - please keep uploading! ;)
wonderful looking loco
Does the model allow for re-gauging to 7.5 inch gauge?
This is at the private Wayside Light Railway isn't it?
Lovely engine! Do you use anthrasite coal throughout?
Charcoal soaked in a combustible liquid to start, then coal (which is anthracite). Use paraffin, kerosene or barbeque lighter fluid. Never ever use petrol or gasoline.
Thanks for the advice. Have followed thsf advice but use Welsh steam coal. Is that OK?
@@mattseymour8637 welsh steam coal is fine, but it smokes way more then anthracite.
@@jonaschreuder7785 I find it works well but when you get a good hot fire you don't get much smoke.
The problem with Anthracite I find it doesn't like it when you stop for a while as the fire can go out and less active.
That is a nice looking E2 class tank engine *I think it's an e2 class*
*NOT* an E2. Good god, everyone thinks that any Southern region 0-6-0 is an E2! I hate to break it to you, but it's an R1, not an E2
It even says it in the title that it is an r1.
PanzerRommel381 the E2 used to be thomas from the train shed
To be honest, it looks more like a jinty 3f
you should bring your r1 to canvey model railway
Hello my name is Leo your real steam locomotive is fantastic, I want to
built one like yours, I have disponible all metallic machine like lathe
and vertical drill ecc ecc to realize all pieces necessary, but I need
about project and construction plan. I think that to begin will be
sufficient realize a locomotive with not more of 3 axes. Now have you
disponible a project/power plan of construction ecc ecc for a locomotive
with 7 3/4" gauge that can be able to start for me??? Thank so much Leo
Plenty of designs and plans on the internet if you have the tools to machine your own components.
What do u mean by disponible and u mean 7 and 1/4?!?!
Is that the wayside light railway
Nice video
How do you get water into the glass?
No injector?
+Billy Stock No we were so quick to get it out on the rails we didn't fit one, with hindsight it would have been good really and we do offer it as an option if you wanted one!
Hey it looks like Thomas the tank engine sense Thomas the tank engine is an r1 locomotive
In rws, it kinda does, in the tvs, not really.
Thomas isn’t an R1. He’s an LBSCR E2
