It is incredible that a few ounces of mineral can be adapted by man to produce such power. Full size firemen may have had to shovel a ton or two of coal, but they moved a 200-ton train 300 miles. All from dead dinosaurs, and poorly miners
If the track is slippy due to water just throw sand under the drive weels , modern locos have sand blasters on the drive weels to prevent wheels slipping on the first effort of traction .
Dubsy 102 So long as you have reliable access to fuel. Steam engines can run on a variety of different fuels including firewood. Can you’re turbines do that?
Ace Report well firstly, I was talking about steam turbines which make electricity and could easily being the grid back online. Secondly, if you mean wind turbines, we will have wind longer than wood or coal
The shaking of the locomotive is known as " boixng effect" caused by the Long stroke of two cylinders stroking on each Wheel due to the construction of the stephenson engine . please bear in miind that this is an exact model of the first Long range loco ever built
I used to carry some small wood chips soaked in paraffin just in case i let the fire get to low..burns quick but you can usualy save the day and get the blower back on...
@@picrijogil Thanks @picrijogil. OS have stopped production apparently. I knew it was a kit, but I was thinking how I might make one from plans, since the OS isn't available. Preloved would work too, but I suspect they're seriously expensive, more than my pension or the wife would allow...
Sir, I am hoping that as you are of Foreign decent, that your use of an English word WAS a mistake. In the video the description came up PETROLEUM soaked Coal, you can not be serious, it is total madness to use petrol near a naked flame. If it was petrol, then you are lucky not to have been injured. Getting a flame anywhere near petrol fumes will cause a violent flashback. The safest thing for you to do in future is FIRSTLY get a blower. Next get some small wooden cubes of chipboard and soak them in Methylated Spirit. I keep on hand a jar always topped up with wood and spirit. Place a few pieces in the firebox and ignite them, as they get going, slowly add a few pieces of coal, once they are well alight, add more coal. I have used this method for many Years with out any problems.
I'm sure you are aware of the difference between petrol and petroleum. I just discovered that petroleum describes crude oil in English - but I meant the light fuel oil or kerosene fraction, which i use in exactly the way you describe with meths. A somewhat cleaner version is sold as lamp oil. Petrol/gasoline is indeed not recommended ... but no worries, it is not what I used. Methylated spirits are alcohol - in my experience they flash off too easily, and depending on which alcohol you're using, can also be quite toxic. There' s a disadvantage to every advantage ...
Thank you for clarifying what you said about Petrol. That is the trouble with different Countries calling things differently. You mention Kerosene, now here in England it is called Paraffin, Blue or Pink, depending on the manufacturer. Our club Locos used to be fired up with charcoal and paraffin, all to good effect. I opted for the Methylated Spirits, as after a run and good clean out, my loco was stored in the house Lounge, as there was nowhere else warm and dry to store it, so did not want the constant smell of Kerosene / Paraffin whilst watching TV etc. I also found that it was better to have the external 12 volt blower, running before applying a match, no blowback.
Nice one. Is it not possible to raise steam with the gas but with the grate installed & a small bed of coal over the gas flame, to get everything going ?
Well, the gas burner has the exact same form factor as the grate + ashpan, so no, that is not possible. I have since learned heat up the boiler to raise steam and then "assist" the coal a bit, all with a torch through the firebox door, and that seems to work quite well. Getting the burner out from under the loco, as you can see, is very fiddly.
It's Train Fun a lot of if not all steam locomotives do it however some worse than others it’s because the cylinders try to move the body of the locomotive instead of the wheel, if you look at the GWR large prairies (I think it’s those at least) they do it too
@@electricgaming9914 We all have strong opinions on many things - but since I own it, I get to choose what color I paint it, don't I ? Case closed. It may some day be yellow. Or green. Or electric blue, even.
Tweedehands gemonteerd gekocht - OS Live Steam verkoopt ze als bouwpakket, of als gemonteerde loc tegen meerprijs. Ik denk dat deze door de fabriek was gemonteerd.
The full size one did that as well, up to a point that the crew would get decidedly sea-sick. The front springs get compressed by the vertical component of the force due to the inclined cylinders - I'd have to make the front springs harder to get rid of it. This is the reason why it was rebuilt after a year and the cylinders were placed much close to the hoirizontal.

Very neat steamer you have there. I love the real live coal loading too. Nice video.
It's not the destination, it's the journey.
Very cute Rocket locomotive, nice video :)
A pair of bellows is always a handy and essential piece of kit for times like this 😆😆
If the track is slippy due to water just throw sand under the drive weels , modern locos have sand blasters on the drive weels to prevent wheels slipping on the first effort of traction .
Leaves on the line ,that, s for real , a great model loco .
just like a real steam engine preparing to take off
When the EMP hits, steam will be our only savior. Long live steam!
Ace Report ahem other combustion forms. Ahem easily reparable turbines.

And the Mercedes 200 Diesel , which you can hand crank and run without electricity since it is entirely mechanical
Beatyfulley Made. I would love to see it running in real live.
Rocket!!

Rainmanxxl1967 correction the one of the first succesfull long range locomotives ever built there were others but they failed
The word "Petroleum" in European languages means lamp oil . Most of the european engineers use lamp oil to soak the charcoal to start an engine with
no petrol = gas that you but in cars !
@@welshpete12 no, petroleum is not a synonym of petrol. Petroleum is often used to refer to crude oil derivatives, not nessecarily petrol.
The red roket
I used to carry some small wood chips soaked in paraffin just in case i let the fire get to low..burns quick but you can usualy save the day and get the blower back on...
Thanks for the tip, much appreciated. I usually just run it on propane.
I'm sitting here , trying to work out how this rocket gets into the air !
...thrust!
It still looked like a load of fun.
We are sorry for delay due to leaves on track
Lovely video. I would really like to build one of these, but I could just about make the shovel....
Thanks Martoon - it's a kit though - it only needs screwing together. And it comes with a shovel that needs no assembly ;)

A well Builet Made by Hand little Steam Train & track for it. For it run's very fast.
Ik vond het leuk te zien. Knap.
cool video
nice ..
way cool
Where can I get this train?
So cute!!!!
Cool 🚄

It's a red rocket! Oh... um...
why is he shaking?

Newton's first law of motion I believe. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. So as Ecks said...
its red bcuz it had too much spice. that why it got stuck in neutral lmao
Imagine calling 911 and THAT is the ambulance ENGINE >???????????????????
During the opening of the L & MR the original Rocket was used for just that purpose.
i half expected it to Blow Up!
why??
Railroad Institute of America rocket never had a safety valve in real life. And this things build up a lot of pressure so. BANG
It needs to be yellow!
I wasn't going to destroy a perfect paint job in red - and since, it has grown on me :)
I said it needs to be yellow!! That’s the color it was irl
@@electricgaming9914 We all have strong opinions on many things - but since I own it, I get to choose what color I paint it, don't I ? Case closed. It may some day be yellow. Or green. Or electric blue, even.
Well Yes you decide but when I said “it needs to be yellow!” I wasn’t demanding it
hey mooi loc waar heb je die gehaald is het een bouwpakket of rijklaar

Lovely engine! what coal do you use? if using anthrasite, any firing tips?
🚂🚂🚂❤️❤️❤️
dude just get a draft fan it be much easyier
For the one or two times I planned to do this, it'd hardly be worth it ... but you're right of course, it'd be much easier.
you said it was running on coal ? the subtitles say gas
Ah yes ... it' s a mystery :) I'm sure that if you watch more than 20 seconds of the video before replying, all will be revealed!
rick maginity
He used gas to fire up faster and charcoal to run the fire after !
Its not safe for kids but its cool:-)
0.001 HP ???
Is it 5 inch gauge?
yes, it is.
#jakEt
shouldn't rocket be yellow
Should be green. Was by 1830.
I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be waddling like that
The full size one did that as well, up to a point that the crew would get decidedly sea-sick. The front springs get compressed by the vertical component of the force due to the inclined cylinders - I'd have to make the front springs harder to get rid of it.

That makes sense, I'm quite the steam head and I didn't even know that!
A waste of time ....
Marshall Man what?!
You have have no taste in locomotives
And you said it was a waste of time but how come you watched it
