Casually looks across at a Sentinel boiler, also held together with nuts and bolts.... 😁

I have a tiny oscillating engine made by an elderly model engineer, about 1/10th the size of your one Laurie. I have only ever run it on compressed air and due to the tiny surface area of the piston, it needs at least 75 PSI, at which point it runs at about 2000 RPM.

Just to let you know Lawrie - we sold the website out

Thank You Lawrie one more to the collection! Be well

This one is pretty good too!

I am surprised other than Mamod that no one else has decided to bring out some EU/UK/US safety specified little engines like this. This engine if it had the correct safety items like a proper safety valve and sight glass on the boiler would be excellent.

@JSmith19858 2 күн бұрын

That safety valve meets all the regs and a boiler that size doesn't need a sight glass. The only place it falls down is being bolted together

Hornby produced a fully working live steam mallard in 1:76 scale, you gotta get one. These are amazing little replicas

@capmodesty 28 күн бұрын

If Laurie does go for one he should seek out the live steam owners club, saw them at Doncaster and the information they were able to give was way ahead of what Hornby's marketing team put out

So what are you going to power with it??? A nice flat belt and........???

@lightcycler4806 Ай бұрын

remaining water - can you just weigh the whole thing empty to know how much water is inside?

@PeterJewell2 Ай бұрын

Well, you can do just that with gas bottles, so you should be able to with this if you have accurate-enough scales handy Good idea.

@lmm Ай бұрын

That's not a bad idea

@Sohave Ай бұрын

I wonder if this can run on a tea light, The flame is a lot smaller but perhaps given some extra time to heat the water it could work.

@H_chapman17 Ай бұрын

I like it, but could you attach a belt on the fly wheel to power something?

The Wilesco D1 is very smiliar to this engine and has no sight glass either…

@lmm Ай бұрын

That's true. Must be a something that only comes in when it gets to 'standard' Mamod boiler size

@JSmith19858 2 күн бұрын

As I've commented under every steam engine video you've made, boiler that size don't need a sight glass. Even given you the exact sections of the regs to look at and you keep trotting it out

No, a steam engine can be bought in europe without the glass or a safety valve. Look at the Wilesco D2.

I think the Wilesco D2 steam engine is the better looking and better designed engine.

Serious question how much is it to learn to drive a steam locomotive? Cannot find anything on Google.

@lmm Ай бұрын

Driving an engine is easy. Driving it well is an artform. The roll of the driver on heritage railways today is much more than just driving though

@CrowArchLane Ай бұрын

Laurie do you think you'll be heading to the 2025 Great Dorset Steamfair? Edit: also re figuring out the water in the boiler. Could you use a tooth-pick as a dipstick?

@bentullett6068 Ай бұрын

Is it returning as the last few years its been cancelled, apparently due to circumstances.

@@bentullett6068they're not confirming anything yet, but I remain hopeful!

@CrowArchLane I know that the Welland Steam fair isn't far away date wise in Worcestershire.
