I built my first loco in 1953/56, a Tich. I'm now on my 7th at 82. Unfortunately age is catching up with me. My beloved 0-6-0 heavy passenger hauling loco has to go. The problem is finding someone willing to buy it. Everyone wants Castles and Kings!😢
@@haroldpearson6025 yes, I think with the modern world buying locos, they tend to buy big not really know what they’re getting in to, I’d always think a smaller loco is a great place to start, either if building or buying, if building there’s less cost in the learning stages, but either way once the loco runs there’s a lot more to be learnt and fun to be had driving smaller.
Thank you. Great story. I wish I worked on bigger stuff. I'm in Gauge1 and I can't tell you how many hours I spend each year on my knees in my workshop, looking for 10BA and 12BA nuts and bolts on the floor.......
What a wonderful engine. You may get comments about sound quality. I would rather have the content of the video than have a perfectly produced video. I am always going to say yes please. More more more. It has to be balanced with your workload. I do not want you spending 'geek' time at the expense of the editing desk. Whatever the content, I am looking forward to your next upoad. ❤
Disappointing that there are those other bits to do. Better check the other side while you are at it. I noticed the rhs cylinder piston rod gland appeared to be blowing. Might be too inspector meticulous as LBSC would say!
Yes please show us I'm a beginner in this hobby thanks to watching your vids 😊I'm building my own loco now....
That’s great to hear, good luck with your loco, what have you decided to build?
@@TomsWorkshop425" jinty I love yours ....and just a nice size to handle thanks

@@jamesritson1518 it’s never too late to try a different size…
Good job Mr P. Thanks for posting!
A few bits to do but a lovely looking engine, the livery suits it nicely 😊

Hi Tom result with the regulator and seems to run lovely
was that filmed today ?
Yes it was. Ran really nicely, can’t wait to get a proper run with it.
You was brave running in that bad wind was a nightmare but at least it wasn’t cold
Disappointing that there are those other bits to do. Better check the other side while you are at it. I noticed the rhs cylinder piston rod gland appeared to be blowing. Might be too inspector meticulous as LBSC would say!
Yes, I’ve already sorted the other side as well… lol. Piston glands are next on my list before it goes back to the club. 👍
what gauge is this engine? (i use inches)
It’s 5” gauge.
