Several 1.5" scale live steam locomotives were on hand during the Illinois Live Steamers 51st Anniversary Meet. You'll enjoy plenty of 1080P HD steam action as a Ten Wheeler and a beautiful, scale, NYC Hudson are fired up in the steaming bays and then brought out onto the main. Stay tuned for more action from the meet right here on The Steam Channel. Thanks for watching!

Really nice! Looks like we might start getting into the warmer temperatures and we will get to see a lot more of these videos, possibly with a little more footage of that Hudson. Thanks steam channel.

I'm curious if you might know where I could locate a steam driven water pump just like you see at 1:11 into there video? I'm looking for one to install on my 1/4 scale traction engine. Thanks! I love your videos you really do great work

@@TheSteamChannel thanks for that! Also, would you by chance know a supplier for 12volt draft inducer fans I could put in the stack to raise steam?

@TheSteamChannel 5 жыл бұрын

No problem. I believe the guys at our club use vacuum cleaner motors over the stack to draft while firing.

Do you have to make your own valves as in the things you turn with your hand also do you have to make your own gauges or can you buy them at certain shops?

Absolutely amazing model, fantastic detail. I was curious, do the train operators have to pass any kind of competency exam? As beautiful as they are to look at I should imagine in the wrong hands they are a potential bomb!

At the club I'm in, members above 18 can run personal or club equipment, but younger members are allowed to operate only club equipment on an individual basis depending on maturity and responsibility. Most people who build these engines wouldn't want to see their work destroyed and therefore use them very safely

@fixedfocusmediaofficial 2 жыл бұрын

I see my uncle Mark was there which doesn't surprise me. I was just at ILS last Monday making some videos from several different perspectives. Brought some of my recording equipment to and we had the whole place to ourselves which was pure luck. They really need to fix that wobbly bridge though. I need to ask Mark if I can release the videos to the public.

4:48 what is the function of those auxiliary pumps, lubrication?

@TheSteamChannel 3 жыл бұрын

It’s a water pump to put water in the boiler. One can use a pump like that, injectors, an axle pump, or hand lever pump in manually from the tender. Most use a combination of those as a fail safe.

What are the things at 2:34?

@leanygreeny9152 3 жыл бұрын

Im pretty sure those are boosters or something. They were on engines so they can build up enough boiler pressure to get going. They were on the Streamlined New York Hudsons, and I believe it was because they worked poorly at low speeds.

@GudrezBilly 3 жыл бұрын

@@leanygreeny9152 Thanks for the reply. I looked it up later and I think they might be air compressors for the brakes. I'm not sure what you're referring to, boosters engines are different and power the wheels of the tender I believe, but maybe you mean the water preheater things they had on the front of the smokebox of some engines?

It seems as though the valve timing is out so three out of four strokes are providing power and one stroke is fighting the movement.
