Thank you, i`m going to do a tutorial on building a garden railway soon, for those just starting out. I hope you enjoy your own railway, its good to have a hobby in these uncertain times.
Been looking forward to seeing that video on your quarry Hunslet Mick, such a lovely narrow gauge locomotive. Very much look forward to your next video with her in steam!
Thank you, that's a very valid question. Full sized steam engines can often go many miles without the fireman doing very much, but any miniature engine requires constant work to maintain the fire and the water level. If that is done then steaming should not be an issue. Providing the engine is in good condition and is kept clean such as fire grate, smoke box and boiler tubes.
Nicely explained, especially for beginners in this wonderful hobby

Fantastic video! Exactly what I was searching for.

Thanks Graham. Steaming up might be a bit more challenging, as you know i`m more of an electric man.
Love it
do you volunteer on any north wales railways?
No I was only there on holiday.
Could you please sow a video of it running on your layout?
I have started a video of it steaming but when I went to move it the regulator broke, so at the moment its in for repairs. Sorry.
Do you find she steams OK with a small smoke box?

@@nutmeg5032 very true but even on small locos like this a small smoke box can affect steaming
I have not had any issues so far. General build quality has been a bigger problem.
@@nutmeg5032 sorry to hear it. What was wrong with it?
Too many to go into detail about here. But I am in the process of doing a video on this very subject. I hope to publish it soon.
