How Does a Steam Locomotive Ash Pan Work?
Рет қаралды 1,901
Күн бұрынIn this video I start the preliminary work on removing the ash pan on the PRR B6. Before we get too involved with disassembly, I take some time to explain what an ash pan does and how it works. I close out the video by using a oxyfuel torch to remove piping along the ash pan.

Nice work Sir. Can't wait to see the old girl restored, at least cosmetically.

Hi Mike, it’s funny that this locomotive is one that I have in Ho scale and I’ve painted it and numbered her 1670 as well

Coal contains sulfur. When water collected in coal, coal ash, cinders, it develops sulfuric acid, which dissolves the steel. This is why all display locomotives must have the stacks capped. The Museums E6s Atlantic 4-4-2 #460 got a very thorough, in depth, and expensive restoration, was money well spent. The balance are getting cosmetic overhauls which are sufficient for indoor display. God knows, they need it! These are irreplaceable treasures in PRR history.

I was pretty sure that it was sulfur in the coal but I couldn't remember. Thanks

Excellent video! This is the kind of stuff I've wanted to see but don't have access to. In a future video, can you show the brick arch and how it's held together? Thank you

I will look tomorrow and see if I can find a locomotive in the hall that still has it. If I find one I will film a video.
