  • 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.

    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.

    Does the model allow for re-gauging to 7.5 inch gauge?

    Lovely engine! Do you use anthrasite coal throughout?

    • @groggers
      @groggers 6 лет назад +2

      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.

    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.
