Fantastic..lovely to watch a tradesman at work..many thanks

Some good work there lads!! She looks better with every video

Having been in the machining trades and retiring as a machinist after 44 years, I dearly enjoy watching the masterful machining and metal working of the folks at the Steam Workshop. Have to say the narrating and filming of these videos of the Fowler project is nothing short of superb also.

These videos are well done. I can't stop watching them. Absolutely awesome work on this beautiful locomotive

Excellent

Great video as always.

What amazes me about this series, is not only the engine itself with its thousands of juicy details, also the amazing collection of tools ("with the right tools, we move mountains") you have at your disposal, and of course, the skills to not only know you NEED such a tool -- also the SKILLS to use the tool to the desired end effect. Wonderful video !

Awesome stuff!

Thanks for the video on Tully fantastic work Simon 😀 👍🚂

Beautiful precision work👍

Nicely done this video. Now the long wait for even more beautiful images. Thanks for this episode.

Brilliant! Keep it up, lads!

Incredible work gentlemen. Big John looks like he could move a mountain by himself. I can’t imagine how many buckets of sweat you’ve produced fixing the old girl up.

It's always fascinating to see problem solving to make jigs and tools etc

Another superb video - Thank you so much for sharing !!! 😀😀😀 !!!

Nice work, it's also good to have someone which is licensed to weld pressure vessels in the team, so you can do the boiler work in house.

Awesome ❤ thank😊 you 🇨🇦👋

British engineering at its best absolutely brilliant 👍🏻👍🏻

Beautifully described, well worth the wait. Looking forward to the next episode. By the way, I have used the Freezer trick for bushing and it works a treat, I did heat up the other part as well just to make things easier.

Amazing video, very nice to see the update. Thank you!

Love these videos Simon. And it’s great to see all those skills in one place. What a great job you and your troops are doing. Look forward to the next instalment 👍

I was getting worried thinking when this was going to come out.😢 Good heavy engineering going on.

Thank you for taking the time to produce these videos, they are great to watch 👍

What a treat. Always good to get one of these videos. Thanks for all the work.

I’m very surprised how good the boiler is at the firebox end and with none of that mysterious grooving effect in either the inner or outer firebox wrapper which can happen just above the foundation ring. Also a big surprise that an ordinary freezer can reduce a pin by even a thou or two. Terrific work.

allways so interesting and it fowler so its extra special

Excellent !, every update is golden.

Smarta arse Q. The rivets that held the plate @ 5:21, will be replace how. Love this series. I have reached an age, where I can not play anymore restoring a Marshall Roller. This is my therapy. Well done, Boys 'n girls. edit. The "Stay Tap", we have, has about a 8" lead, tapered reamer as the lead to the tap threads. The tap threads taper also is longer. Allows threading to be relatively easy. It could be just comparing with the video that is out, but a longer taper would definitely help.

Excellent update!

Brilliant and interesting Simon, well worth the wait. The old skills have not died and very much in use still. The amount of detail and work that goes into keeping history on track, well done to you all. Stay well till next vlog.

Dear TSW team. 👍👌👏 Simply fantastic again and as always (video and work). Congratulations for all the progress. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards, luck and especially health to all involved people.

Good work, love to see these videos as they are really well done and relaxing to watch.

Its boiler time 😎

Great workmanship, thank you for sharing.👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Nice to see the progress. Nice welding. You'll have it up and running by Christmas! Simon, I have been learning to drive the Sweet Pea you delivered to me at Wilton Salisbury. The guys in the club gave it the once over and tell me that it's a powerful engine in mechanically very good order, and that I bought well. Many thanks, Richard.

YES!!!! I was curious how you guys were making out with the Fowler! Keep up the incredible work!!!!!

Fantastic progress chaps. I'm hoping to see this old girl in steam in the future. Well done.

Hey up! Great video as always! As someone who is filming and building a 7 1/4” gauge loco I completely understand with how difficult it is to do both! The Tully loco is coming on great, interesting to see these processes. I’m sure I know the welder, well definitely his name, but I can’t quite place how. All the best, Matt 👍

very interesting. top notch boiler work. why you steam nutters get up to

Another great video. Informative, interesting, well-made … What more can I say? Beyond thanks and when’s the next one?

It has been a while, great fo see some work has been done.

Nice job lads! Will say I'm very interested in how you do the rivets in the throat/back head lap joints with the firebox installed? Looking forwards to the next video! Cheers

Thanks for sharing the process of the rebuild. Just a quick novice question: Could oilite material be used for some of the motion bushings?.

Surely they didn’t hand drive those taps when they built that thing? Would it be possible to tap the plates on the radial arm drill then put the stays in as it went together?

That gap between the plate and inner firebox lining looked rusty. Is water allowed into that space?

11:54 whats that chassis behind him? looks like Handyman

How do you assure the old and new threads are aligning while tapping? I thought I've read somewhere that you should tap stayholes, in this case, from the inside to use the old threads as a guide and eliminate the risk of chewing them up
