Silly tip, when you are parting off an eccentric after boring it out, put a sacrificial piece of metal in the bored hole to avoid the "thumping action" of the parting blade as it passed the shaft hole. Having something to cut is better than beating the daylights out of the tool and tool post when it hits a void.. Just a thought (it's what I have done in the past and it works great).

Beautiful work Quinn. That jig is pretty genius. The tips on machining eccentrics I certainly appreciated! Couple real world steam connections: I've got no idea how big 2816's bore is, but it's darn big. I know the bore on our 1881 and 1899 ancient narrow gauges engines is 16", and our big K class is 20". The size of some of those engines out there is staggering. Only boat people get us... Lol! Also, many shops have drop pits instead of big cranes. I always wish I had a big crane and I've only ever had drop pits. Yucky nasty places, but the process is similar - just some removable rails that slide out of the way and a big ram or small crane to hoist one wheelset up or down.

Interesting fact. Big stationary steam engines have a series of either holes drilled or some kind of pockets cast into the periphery of the flywheel to insert a jack or crowbar to muscle the engine off the top center or rotate the engine incrementally for whatever reason.

And even bigger engines have small steam engines to drive a worm gear that will bar the engine over. Hand turn the small engine to a past TDC position, swing it into engagement with the crankshaft and then apply the steam to allow it to move the main engine to the starting position.

I love that quartering jig and wish I had seen it back in the day. The way I went was to split a block of steel a la bearing caps and machine it truly square, the clamp the wheels into it. Working on a sheet of 12mm thick float glass that I use as a surface plate, the first crankpin was set with a stack of gauge blocks, then the whole assembly rolled over 90° to set the second crankpin. Everything was locked up using a wicking grade of Loctite. A mate used my setup to quarter the wheel of a NSWGR Garratt loco. This is a 4-8-4+4-8-4 heavy goods articulated loco so he had eight axles to quarter. It is essentially two engine so he 'only' had four axles each but he had to do it twice! 😅

But you have me trained, so I said it (with just a hint of questioning tone in my voice) once I realized that you weren't going to, or at least not immediately (i.e. about half-way through the gap in you talking). P.S. Dang, (then-)present Quinn was being pretty harsh with both future (5:07) and past (11:49, 17:13, 23:07) Quinns! Bully! ;) P.P.S. 14:26 - aww, you look so happy in that pic! Nice!

Almost every installment of yours conveniently answers some problem that I have had recently or currently. -I did recently have a problem with Krazy glue NOT letting go of some printed Aluminum parts. Acetone, heat, brake cleaner, . . . nothing worked! I am assuming that being a printed part the irregular surface inside the hole for the shaft was irregular enough to create a net surface hiding pockets of glue to parts, that I couldn't reach with solvents, and maybe the heat applied vitrified the glue? -I ended up milling the steel shafts out! I love your videos! You are an excellent teacher! Thank you!

This is awesome, I love these videos! I had a dumb question (I don't know anything about trains or machining etc.) : Why wouldn't the shaft and wheels be locked together with say a keyway, screws, or something more formal than glue? Is it just too tricky to keep the alignment of both wheels and machine these features in or something? I ask this since to my (non mechanical) brain that Loctite would seem to have to hold heaps of torque. But I presume in reality it's actually intuition-defyingly strong?

On the model I was making it uses a pin with a hole half in the wheel and half in the axle.

I really enjoy your content and humor. I have a question though... what is the difference between your stock and your scrap piles? I seem to only have stock piles. Keep up the great work.

Saw "The Empress" 2816 just a few weeks ago, heading to MX City through Wharton, Texas. It was early in the morning and it had just departed its overnight. It appeared NOT to be producing steam for forward motion, although the whistle worked! The theory bounced around was that they don't want to get up at 4am for an 8am departure, so they "steam up" in motion, using the backup diesels for the first 2-3 hours of the daily progress. Not sure if true . . ..

Interesting theory! Typically for a trip like this, they just don’t ever cool down the boiler to prevent that problem. Back in the day, crews would keep boilers in steam for weeks or months on end, cooling them down only for cleaning and service. It may be that they got low on water or had a mechanical issue, hence the diesels.

@@Blondihacks It was still a mighty pretty locomotive. Heckuva trip: Calgary to Mx City (and return!). Could it just be the cost of oil over the 2-month (or so) trip. It must burn a fair dinkum amount, you'd think.

i have to wonder if there's a way to take out some of the vibration with heavy extra strong magnet weights or something that can attach firmly to the head offcenter

It seems to me that when the piston on one side is applying maximum force to its pair of wheels that some torque will be transmitted through the axels to the non-driven wheels on the other side. This periodic condition wouldn’t be much different from a locomotive that only had a single piston on one side except for the issue of getting it started.

There’s almost no time when a steam cylinder isn’t producing torque. Every stroke is a power stroke and power is fairly linear. Steam is not like internal combustion

@@Blondihacks its only a short time that only one cylinder is applying torque, but it happens twice every turn. And the other cylinder also has two dead spots, so for every revolution, there are four points where half the torque from the piston goes through the axle, in opposite directions.. Its the magnitude of the force, not the duration of the force that works it loose over time. Torque going back and forth also adds to help work it loose over time. But I don't see this engine pulling heavy loads for hours at a time, so unlikely to be an issue.

If your suggestion is that the Loctite will fail, it won’t. It’s far far stronger than required in this situation.
