Enjoying an afternoon running my steam loco

Mar 05, 2024
I'm wearing my favorite sweater, it's the one that catches all the oil from my

steam

engine, so today is a nice warm day. The tracks look good, so let's get fuel for the

steam

engine. This is anthracite, it's quite big. Really look. Large pieces are too big to fit into steam engines. I'm going to have to break them, so to do that, I get this piece of channel 2, kill it with a hammer, use the sharp end, break it however I can, big enough to fit in. The problem with the steam engine combustion chamber with anthracite is that it takes a lot of heat to burn, so what I do is I have some tom bichy, most of the coal here, as you can see, is from Pretty small size, so I have to run it through this sieve to get all the dust and stuff out, but that helps the anthracite burn off, so I made a mixture of the two, so let's put this in the car, the cart with the other fuel and let's take out a steam engine with the garden a little agitated. pending I can let the motor come out of the basement on its own my fish seem to be excited first I fill the tanks with water on both sides even though they are connected it speeds things up then the auxiliary tank on the cart feeds one of the injectors with cold water and then pump water into the boiler.

Okay, you can see the level on the glass. Air vapor velocity. Light the fire. Turn on that noisy fan. I already put the lighters in the combustion chamber. It takes about 30 minutes to turn on. a good day to warm up to see how the fire goes it's a little doughy but not bad I don't want to mess around with it too much until it settles in a little more here we go you can see if you look closely On the expansion I've engaged the gear quite a bit of valves to save steam because it's a new fire, boiler pressures drop and I'll have to rev it up a bit more and drop the intestinal gear to the bottom of the link.

To get over the top, I'll make AB laugh and increase the depth of the fire. The water is also a little low in the boiler, so I'll use the injector water valve first, then the steam and ejector will start soon. I'm right. on the steepest part of the braid it is a little difficult to start a passenger is required to give a neighbor arrived it is a little slippery with the additional weight and the curve under the trees that is the engine's vapor brake working with the pressure of the boiler almost full will slow the train now its time to stop the water and fill the tanks before the crazy makes about 12 circuits before the engine tanks need attention the rare tank in the car can run much longer Before it needs to be filled, the North makes an animal moan when plucking.

Danava did not fall, he had enough and continued on his way. I got another passenger. Diana, she wanted to wait for the garden sitting down. Now I'll try to shoot a bit during the trip, but juggling the brake and paddle can be quite tricky. Especially with the boiler pressure low and the steam brake not so effective, I have to press my foot against the handle to prevent it from escaping, the engines have been

This is a real thing. I'll try again. You have to admire this guy for trying. It's almost out. of coal I just can't get enough forward momentum it fails so drop the fire and let things cool down a bit, look closer with all that banging up and down the garden you can see how many coals built up on the bottom of the smoke. Box coming out of the fire through the tubes with the effect of the explosion of chimney exhaust. It is a gun barrel cleaning brush made of phosphor bronze wire. Push it through the pipes to the firebox.
The tubes appear. Now you see the tubes. I can see the betta tube above with the soup eater going down that big tube if there is still a little carbon left in one or two of the tubes, but I'll take care of cleaning it out. I promise dirty hands, dirty hands and dirty face, but a good steamy
