A beautiful looking engine, but the repetitive retopping up of the gas, and the time it takes to get steam up, would irritate me. Although gas is very clean, i think that in this case with this engine, you would be better off with a proper fire box with a grate, and run on Coal beans.. The only problem then of course, is it has no boiler feed pump to keep the boiler supplied, as unlike gas- coal cannot be extinguished quickly and easily if the water level gets low! So im at a loss for an answer!😅
I'd advise checking out part 2, turned out Alex was trying to fill up with an empty can! Once set up correctly it ran for a solid 30-40 minuites on one tank of gas.
Oh dear, poor Alex! I know exactly where he's coming from there, as I do uploads for a group that I run- and make many mistakes during filming, that I was unaware of, until after it was uploaded! 😅😅😅
Hi, great tractors you made! I have, since many years, Fowler Coal Fired that run again in perfect condition! Thanks and cheers Fabrizio
Splendid stuff!
I think gas fired is the best choice since unlike coal fired it can be run indoors.
A hinged smokebox door would be nice.
Beautiful, can you do another one of these in the future with the 3/4 scale version please and Alice. They are two amazing engines
