Part 27: The Steam Chests

- Опубликовано: 29 июл 2022
- Welcome to Part 27 of my long term series of videos covering the build of Don Young's Hunslet 0-6-0 Saddle Tank Locomotive in 5" Gauge.
In this video I cover off the machining of the steam Chests.
Given the nature of these sorts of projects, new videos will be posted as I progress through the build but there will be no regular cadence, rather their frequency will be dependent upon time available and of course real progress on my part.
If you like what you see, please do give me a thumbs up and subscribe.
Enjoy!
I am loving this series, and can't wait for new episodes! Thank you for sharing this project with us!
Cheers Phil, much appreciated :-)
Another information vid chap, I had similar problems machining the pong wheels on my dyak. Must admit I shoved them in the bbq after heating them to red hot and left them to cool u def the burgers n steaks, worked for me
Why build it out of brass? I thought brass suffered from dezincification when in contact with steam. I'd love to hear your thoughts!
Now that is a very good question 🤔
Don's design specifically calls out Brass: "Steamchest Cover 2 Off Brass" and funnily enough he also gives a metric spec "4mm". But like you, I've been concerned about Dezinctification. There was also a post on the Facebook Model Engineering Group on this subject yesterday. From the latter, it's noted that the process is not a quick one (as in years and years) and impacts on finer parts (e.g. threads) first - the post also notes that most fittings for model engineering are also sold as brass - so I think it's a case of "Go Figure" 🙂
I do need to reconnect with my local model engineering society and when I do, I will seek guidance.
Cheers
