- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- With all the coupling rods fitted, the workshop team has been able to jack No. 2007's frames up enough to engage the roller drive, enabling the wheels to be rotated.
You can find out how to support this build and accelerate the completion date here www.p2steam.co...
Just watching the coupling rods move with the wheels is just so satisfying and I can’t explain why
I love seeing and hearing about the rebuilding of steam locomotives. My Father was a steam locomotive Engineer for New York Central in the 40's and 50's retiring in the 70's and he had some great stories of his career. I on the other hand hired out on Conrail in 1990 and became an Engineer in 1992 and spent the next 28 years in the seat and loved every minute of my job, just wish I would have had the opportunity to run a steam locomotive and have my Father know I followed in his foot steps.
I can’t believe we are 3 steps closer to seeing this locomotive completed.
This is what I call real engineering and I love it. Wonderful progress everyone.
It’s just brilliant what you are doing, keep up the good work.
Excellent!
This is fantastic to see, it'll just be amazing to have another steam loco back
Must be very satisfying assembling all that brand new metal work. Great job you are doing. If I win the lottery this week I’ll give you half. All the best. Mick
bloody impressive to be sure!
Now THIS is what I call bloody brilliance
That's some nice engineering there, lovely.
Just beautiful engineering
Just wow this is amazing looking
This things gonna look sick when it’s done
Looks Amazing! I Can't Wait to See This Beautiful Locomotive Completed and Ready For Steam. Keep Up The Good work too!
great to see another steam locomotive being built from the ground up like Tornado was. Really amazing project, keep it up
Excellent progress..
Seeing your fav class of locomotive being built is jist so satisfiyng cant wait to see this engine in action
Another step forward, can't wait seeing this giant run on the mainline (especially on it's first Edinburgh-Aberdeen trip, or climbing Ais Gill).
What catches me in this footage is the size of the wheels, they are about the same as from an A2 or B1 locomotive?
And clearly audible in the sound of the drive is the fact that the balance weights have not yet been filled with lead.
I guess that the final balancing takes place with the completed motion gear in place?
Well done the lot of you keep it up .
Brilliant. It will be Magnificent once it's finished.
Come on over Steven, we would love to have you work on this wonderful engine.
brilliant work there!
One step closer
Deja vu, I visited there when Tornado was at a similar stage, doesn't seem that long ago.
I hope you are using roller bearings this time between the connecting rods and wheel mounting pins instead of dry metal oil lubrication! Cheers.
Awesome! I look forward to seeing it completed.
Fantastic sight - more great progress!
Awesome achievement 👍
Very well done
Lovely , Engineering at its best well done !
Replying to Graham Smith Those spokes look like they came from a delivery bicycle
@@sydneymartin6941 Those spokes are thicker than your leg...
@@GudrezBilly Compared to our South African steam engines those wheels do not look very strong unless my eyes are deceiving me Our locomotives were very well balanced and vary powerful Wish you could have seen them for yourself then you would know what I am talking about
@@sydneymartin6941 The spokes look thin, yes. However those wheels are 6 feet 8 inches (or just over 2 meters) tall. Like I said, the spokes are very thick and neither you or I will be around by the time they needs replacing. I get what you're saying, I live in the USA and we had the biggest and strongest steam locomotives ever.
It's just a different design, and like those bicycle spokes, they may look thin, but they hold more than they look.
@@GudrezBilly Thanks for coming back to me I was a fireman on South African Railways so I do understand about steam locomotives Maybe it was just the angle of the video that was deceiving Love steam locomotives Best career ever That work kept us very fit It was so enjoyablr
Amazing
Great video thanks for sharing..
Fantastic looks amazing 👏
Stunning!
Looks nice
Nice work, keep it up!! My little boy can't wait to see the finished loco! Any chance of letting bigjigs make a wooden toy of it?
SWEET!!
I can't believe it wow
Fabulous
Let's ROLL!
It will be nice when it’s able to do this under its own power
Great work. Would be great if it was tested at the GCR when finished
Great work! Hypnotic to watch. Out of interest, how much power / torque from the electric motor and rollers is required to rotate the wheels over at this speed? Also what speed were you rotating them at?
Fitted up to a higher standard than Doncaster managed👍👍👍 Brilliant work though the locomotive’s name is a bit weak. Something like Highland Wolf would have been more impactful.
I’m not sure if it’s just an illusion, but it looks to me like the rod is flexing from the inner two axles to the outer two. Especially when it’s being drawn upwards.
Is it just me seeing that?
Yes!😉
Can't wait to see 2007 on the mainline! Would she be light enough to run on heritage railways?
I know they said it should be able to tackle the same stuff Tornado does but that was in terms of Curve radius im not to sure about weight, i hope it will be able to go on heritage lines as well 😀
I asked this question at their Presentation, they said weight and gauging is fine for everywhere. Most heritage lines can run 9F’s so they can basically run anything. The 25mph speed limit on light railways is key, higher speeds mean better infrastructure is needed.
@@spankflaps1365 well, 9Fs are actually (correct me if I'm wrong) 30 tons lighter then the Gresley P2s..
Hopefully one day steam could make a return.
That reminds me of that time when cock of the north was on that rolling road thing at that testing plant
On the test plant at Vitry - www.p2steam.com/2014/05/19/no-2001/
It don't like lifting that crank!
What a site! 😍
Great progress..hate to think how much a brand new locomotive costs to build
the acceleration and deacceleration as the couplng rods fell and rose speaks volumes of the unbalanced forces at work...
this may seem like a weird question, but why are the balance weights hollow inside? will weight be added to them? or are the plates themselves the actual balancing weights?
If you mean the red rotating crank, I believe that is the valve gear. It is hollow to allow the valve gear return crank to be connected in the middle of those 2 red plates.
@@francoismurrell4604 no the plates in the wheels. the middle crank is for the middle cylinder rod
@@KPen3750 yes you're right, these locomotives do have 3 cylinders. Misread the question, in which case I'm with you on that question
They'll be filled with material once the rods are fitted or when they know exactly how much weight is needed in each one
What's the purpose of the red plates on each of the wheels? Is it something to do with balancing the wheels? I've seen them on all steam locos (normally they're the same colour as the rest of the livery) but never considered why they are there before.
Yes, they are for keeping lead weights in place for balancing.
I can help but think if you had filmed stuff from the start and grown the channel, you’d have made some RUclips cash people would love to watch this stuff.
...belatedly we are working on it!
Does the variance in pitch of the motor during rotation suggest a 'pinch' point which can be rectified later on?
I think that due to the missing weight of motion that is yet to be fitted the assemblies are very much out of balance, and the motor is just having a battle with gravity on that part of the rotation.
No
@@Titan604 makes the motor sound like an air raid siren!
new subscriber and as much as i douted tornado as a new build having rode behind her that changed witch is why for 2007 i arent douting itll do the same
are they building a brand new steam locomotive?
if so id like to see some A1's and A3's built
nah, there's Flying Scotsman for that. Instead, they're building Locomotives to replace gaps in the LNER lineup, since, well, the LNER classes were absolutely eviscerated with the scrappings, most of them being scrapped in government run workshops before they could hit the private sector. They've already built a Peppercorn A2, and now they're doing the P2 class, which is the UK's only Mikado class. after that they'll be building a V4.
@@havoc3742 id just like to see a blue A1 or A3 and it named gordon
@@youthawe123 My advice would be to win a lottery a few dozen times.
@@havoc3742 Tornado is an A1 not an A2
There is a surviving Peppercorn A2, Blue Peter.
Why is it stiff at the 1 O'Clock position?
A question of balance, as it stands the reciprocating parts don't have the connecting rods fitted which will alter this for the better.
@@thep2steamlocomotivecompan19 Hi What class locomotive is this?
Really @@sydneymartin6941??? Take a look here - www.p2steam.com/
Just subscribe
Something sounded like a storm or raid alarm.
it sounds like a air raid siren
Awesome! Is it going to be coal or oil fired?
Coal
Maybe you guys will be able to get mallard running again
The NRM simply won't allow it to leave the museum unless for an exhibition.
@@mattlander9119 They should at least attempt to get Mallard running again
Is it going to be a streamlined version or not
No it won't have the A4 style front
@@mattlander9119 that's a shame but a brand new P2 will be as great as Tornado.
Anyone else hear a nuclear siren in the background? 🤨
How do you manage to avoid any tight spots
Simply by applying the best engineering possible! If you make it right, it works right!
How can there be so many Pratt’s making stupid comments ? What’s the funny noise ,why is there no oil marks , is the coupling rod wobbly etc .Go back to watching Tomas the tank engine
Why am I not surprised that this steam train
is not scrapped like it looks so modern and fast not just that I’m pretty sure at least one of them would end up in a museum of some sort
Because it's literally under construction. It wasn't scrapped or preserved, it's an entirely new build.
Oh I mean to be fair they do steal gift steam in China
@@ineedit4577 what?
In see Prince of Wales is almost done but how are the wheels moving?
The electric motor under one of the wheelsets
I'm surprised the right trailing crankpin and cap hasn't been drilled for the taper pin
Will be done later probably
My first view whas that there are no oildrops ... did you really let this thing run dry ?
No.
when will they create an A1 without hight preasure boiler
I fondlly remember Cock'o'the North from when I was a kid but I can't help thinking that the engineering effort being put into this project could have been better spent on something more relevant and valuable to the future of our country. Tornado proved something but we don't have to keep repeating this particular message. We're much more technically advanced and capable than this.
There's no point trying to build something that people won't fund, that's a blind alley that leads to frustration and wasted resources. Anyone is welcome to start their own project so, over to you!
Under that "if it's not productive it's a waste" mindset, why do we have any form of entertainment? Or long distance travel? Or unhealthy foods? The list is infinite.
If people love something and work together to get it done, that's very very productive. As a part of a scale model railroading club I enjoy working with other club members on plenty of essentially useless little "toys". But being part of that group and getting something awesome done is a good feeling. I hope someday to help in larger "pointless" projects restoring steam locomotives or building miniature ones.
.....it also creates employment, keeps skills alive and, above all, gives people joy, something that seems to be lacking in many lives these days.....
These exercises are useful in that they maintain and develop people's skills and knowledge. Participation in a new build or restoration project of this kind should an integral be part of undergraduate courses in mechanical engineering. We would not get so many cases where there are long delays in getting new designs of rolling stock, or major defects affecting entire new classes involving remedial action being required on hundreds of vehicles.
Under the 1930s outline there will be a lot of new technology eg the challenge of fitting ERTMS to a steam locomotive could have useful spinoff when it has to be applied to the regular fleet.
Is it worth building this loco when we won't have any coal to burn inside it?!
Trust me, its worth it 👌
There are coal alternatives so that will never be an issue.
