I like that hot air engine! It's an amazing idea and looks a bit like the whimsical little Lartigue monorail in Ireland

The last one was very beautiful. I hope they caught whoever vandalized it. No reason whatsoever to harm something that nice.

actually the first steam locomotives were around in 1804, British Engineer Richard Trevithick, 22 years before America had them, in fact the first American steam engines were built by the British and were shipped ober to America. They probably ran on oil but coal and wood was also used, wood, not so much, that seems to be an American thing.

It's coming along nicely!

I would use PVC trunking for the cabling with a draw cord inside for servicing purposes. Cheap enough and this can be buried so cable can be hidden.

If you want the Prince of Wales loco or hot air powered one you have to scratch build them yourself.

The explanation of scale and gauge faultered a bit needed more clarification on the larger model locos

This guy is awesome

I live in saffron walden too!!! :)

I love the idea of a HOT AIR ENGINED Loco. Fabulous idea, but where can I get one. Is there a ready to run model, or is it scratch built???.

6:40 mark points the finger

This is a fascinating series. I just wish it had links as to where the absolute complete beginner could purchase track and motive power etc ready built. It would also have been useful to know what guage this railway is. Is it 0 or G scale? Lots of exceptionally useful tops however and superbly presented.

Round house do make a the same loco but called some thing else. all you would have to do is repaint it and rename it. Of course it dosen't run on coal though!

Can anybody tell me where to get a live steam model of the prince of wales like the one at 05:09 and a hot air powered loco like the one at 16:13

mind the wheelbarrow.

I wish I had enough track to make this

Voltage is pressure. Amperage is volume. He's got his analogy backwards.

The sound is quite orgasmic.....WHAT THE FUCK?

scratch build it yourself or find someone to build it for you but you'll probably be looking at spending the amount to buy a new car on it.

15:50 sterling engine?

where can i get a model like the one at 05:32(coal fired)

Djb engineering for coal fired locos

what scale is it?

Fishplates installed like this will only work for a few months. Screw clamps will last for years and never need grease. Plus you can take them off at ease in secs shoild they need de crudding.

The 1st steam locomotives (1800s - America in the Wild West) used wood b4 coal.
