When you start the donkey engine it is a good idea to keep all of your digits on one side of the handle. This is because if the engine kicks back for any reason your hand will come away fairly easily, with your thumb on the other side of the handle you may sustain a nasty injury. Looks like a great project.
Advice noted! I’d like to keep all my fingers / hands if possible 😂😂😂
Brillian video. Love the fact that the Donkey engine's throttle position is exactly right with 42p of coins behind it. 😀
Glad you enjoyed! 🤣
What a delightful new toy!
thank you!
So it's not just turning a key and/or pressing 'Start' right off the bat. Quite a complex starter, with the Total Loss Cooling on the Donkey engine being uncommon these days, but I dare say the main engine will run all day without worrying too much about it. It's good to hear the Ruston running. Sounds good, too. It's another learning curve but most of the mechanical principals are the same. I'm not sure off-hand what the oil is for the chain-drives, unfortunately, but thick enough to stick to the chain anyway. All the best Ollie. Keep safe, sir!
(There's a story we were told as young apprentices, of someone starting the motor with an oxygen cylinder feed, as the compressor wasn't working...you can imagine, the results were quite explosive!)
Man just bought himself a loco least i can do is subscribe :D fair play mate well done
Appreciate it thank you!!
Hi Ollie, Excellent video - a great behind the scenes look at the preparation required to maintain and run a Ruston. I will follow this with interest. Well done again
Thank you mate, glad you enjoyed!
Interesting video Ollie, I visited Colne Valley on Sunday afternoon and saw the Ruston so great to see what's inside! I would've guessed it had an electric starter but no, I suppose you don't have to worry about a flat battery.
Next time you’re there, if I’m working on it you’re welcome to come take a closer look! 😊
wow another well filmed video... loved it cheers Neil
Appreciate it thank you!
Absolutely awesome 👏🏻 Ollie 😊
Thank you mate :)
Excellent video, what fun. You have a lot of envious viewers. Best regards from New Zealand.
Glad you enjoyed mate!
Excellent video. Toy trains for real.
Thank you very much!
Thanks for the great vid; that was really interesting. Keep the loco videos coming
Glad you enjoyed it mate!
@@WardleRestorations indeed I did! Was interested to know about all the inner workings, being an ex Diesel engine developer 😊
this looks like a neat little thing, cant wait to see it towing the box van and brake-van
Me too! Not too long hopefully...
Thanks for a great video and showing us around you loco
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
"This week in Top Gear....James May re-starts some scrap metal!!" Great stuff Ollie. Keep it coming. :))
hahaha thank you mate, glad you enjoyed!
Congratulations on your new purchase Ollie.
A very interesting video and looking forward to your learning journey just like we are doing with our DMU.
Thanks Paul, hope the DMU restoration is going well! I must visit again some time, all the best!
Quite a complicated thing to start up and drive! Quicker start-up than the big marine engines I managed to avoid having to work on! They had an electric starter motor to start the starter engine!
At least it doesn't need the Gun-powder Shot-Starters! Yes, quite a worthy Wolseley engine with the total-loss cooling! No youngster and very well kept too! Nice.
Yeh an electric starter motor would certainly speed up the starting process!
Cheers From California ! You taught me that it’s got a Chain drive ! I had no idea 😊
Learn something new everyday 🤣
Brilliant video Wardle Road
Cheers Mels’
I've never seen the inside of a real Ruston Shunter before. It's something we hardly ever see in real life. However, I'm not familiar with the inner component workings of the Ruston Shunter, so I can't help you very much there. Show me the inside of a steam engine, and I could more easily give you a lowdown on how a steam engine works. I confess to growing up with Thomas the Tank Engine. Thanks for showing me something I've never seen in real life. Perhaps asking a volunteer might help, that's what volunteers are for. Give my purrs and mews to your two cats when you can. I love and miss them.
thanks ollie . good luck with the loco.
Thank you!🙂
exellent video and very interesting👍 thanyou👍 for me im happy pushing f1 to start my locos😀 all the best and i look forward to your next update👍👍
Yes pressing F1 is certainly much easier than this process 🤣🤣
A note for the Wolseley, if you screw the throttle clockwise it should tighten the spring on the governor and increase the revs without using penny’s.
Appreciate it thank you!
Possibly a daft question but.... aside from the process of buying the loco, could you shed some light on getting it housed on the railway? I take it they had to agree to have it there? Do you have to pay them to keep it there? And how easy is it to get time to drive it up and down the line?
second this. this would be a good explination video. how the process happened :)
here in buenos aires waiting for next video
Hopefully within the next couple of weeks!
Hi Ollie Good video, a quick low down on how things work, hope its all fun on the learning curve..lol Thanks
Me too, I hope it’s mostly fun and no stress 😂
Part of the committee at Royal Deeside Railway in Scotland and this is a dream of mine to own my own train! Literally living every train fans dream! Would love to get a real breakdown of how you got the engine, how it was bought etc but understand if you don’t want to 😂 Can’t wait to see what’s coming next!
Getting the engine was more luck and good timing, had I gone on to buy another wagon that fell through a few weeks before, getting the loco would never have happened!
Brilliant video. Quite interesting
The videos been up for 2 minutes and the video is 20 mins long, how’s that work 😂
@@WardleRestorations I'm magic 😂. Also I have every video on 2x speed and half way through commented
Excellent video Oliie, is there doors for the right hand side to cover the engine or does it remain exposed.
All of the engine is covered including the donkey engine!
Very nice
Cheers bro
Well done buddy 👏🏻 looks pretty nice under the bonnet. Roll on footplate rides
Cheers bro, can’t wait!
great video
Thanks Owen 👍
@@WardleRestorations no problem
Greet to meet you on Saturday, hope we didn’t interrupt to much with filming with raising steam in the background.
I was hoping to film you guys leaving but missed my chance!😂😭
I can answer that for you straight away.
What’s inside the loco? Fun, that’s what 😂
Yes, and lots of it hopefully 😂
I assume you'll refurbish the exterior condition somewhat, but what about livery? Is it gonna keep this one?
I really haven’t thought too far ahead about livery yet!
tank 40 gallons = 181.81 liters
Thanks 👍🙂
