I've been a model engineer for over 50 years and made several models of varying complexity. I find it really difficult to relate what I'm doing to people unfamiliar with model engineering; even within my own house. It's like they walk past my latest engine everyday and all of a sudden it's "where did that come from?" I really appreciate your patience to explain what you're doing in a humble and accessible format. It does a lot to promote the hobby and hobbies in general which are evermore important for health and well being. Keep doing it. You are our spokesperson!

@bernieshort6311 Ай бұрын

When I was in my apprenticeship (as an Engine fitter and turner) I sometimes made a mistake. I would go to the boss and tell him I had made a mistake, he would ask "what are you going to do about it" so long as you had an idea on how to put it right, he was never bothered and told me to put it down to experience. I followed that line throughout my working life and applied it to the people I taught later in my life. It’s only a cock up if you have no way of making it right. People new to this hobby will learn tremendously from watching your channel Quinn and it is upstanding of you to both show your mistakes and how to put them right. I have always admired that about you. Thank you.

Having followed your journey through this project, I really appreciate the way you show it all... mistakes and triumphs. I have said this before,: when I was young my grandfather explained to me: "it is not that a master work person does not make mistakes but rather that they know what to do about them".

As a Machinist I love watching your videos, Quinn. You do good work which is a joy to watch. Just a suggestion wrt your hearth setup: I've had success getting more out of a smaller torch by building a more confined space with fire bricks. Brass is, as you know, very thermally conductive, so it loses any heat put into it rather quickly. Especially given how much 'overspilling' of heat you were getting just blowing past the part. I had to stress relieve a bunch of brass bars prior to machining, and wasn't getting good even results until i surrounded the bars closely on 3 sides..even with an oxy acetylene torch. It later became a non-issue when we got a heat treating oven, of course. 😁 Anyway. Keep up the good work!

@Hyce777 Ай бұрын

Fantastic work as always Quinn! Depending on exactly which square-y bit you're looking at, it's either a Pilot Beam, or an End Sill depending on the piece of equipment, at least in the US vernacular. The front beam on a steam locomotive is the pilot beam. Bolsters are specifically for a truck->body interface, again, at least in US vernacular. Railroad vernacular seems to have a *shocking* amount of non-congruence across territories so your mileage may vary... Those boxes are neat. At first I thought there wasn't going to be a binder strap on the second box, but once you demonstrated it made sense. That's a cool design. On the full-scale stuff, we have a shoe on the front, and a tapered wedge on the back of those slots within where our journal box rides. Tightening the wedge rams the box forward in the frame jaws against the shoe, and keeps our running gear tight, even through wear, at least until tolerance runs out. Fantastic to see how you machine these parts! I've learned at least a dozen things about machining from your channel. Much appreciated. :)

@Hyce777 Ай бұрын

... I just got to the point of talking about the lack of spring rigging. *Interesting*. That makes a ton of sense. Spring rigging is usually set up in tripod format, just like this model is, though in groupings of equalized wheelsets. So freaking cool. Thanks again!

@Blondihacks Ай бұрын

The terminology is extra complicated by Kozo who has his own terms for everything in the drawings. Sometimes they are Japanese translations of their terms, sometimes he has used the British terms, and sometimes it’s clear he’s just making up words that he thinks suits the part. 😅

I have a request, forgive me. I started watching your videos with my daughter a bit over a year ago. I initially was trying to coax her to bed by putting something she would think is boring on the TV. So we started with Clickspring, visually appealing enough for her to not whine. I called him 'Clockmaker' and after some video of his finished yours was recommended (I've watched for awhile), so I said "Oh, this one is Train maker." Fast forward to now, when we sat down to watch this and while I was fiddling with the remote she was bouncing on the sofa chanting; "Trainmaker, Trainmaker, Trainmaker..." So thank you for all the quality content, and inspiring at least one little lady. If it fits the ~vibes~ of your videos, she would probably detonate from excitement if you gave her a shout out. If not that's fine, she is clearly already excited enough! Her name is Lillian and she will be turning 4 on the 18th. Have a lovely day. Can't wait to see the train go, Trainmaker.

Not ideal for this project but I am hoping to learn the skills I need practicing on them and in the future be able to afford larger machines to have ago at this. I am also interested in garden scale Sm32/Sm45. Currently have a small garden steam engine to build. Which I'm looking forward to putting together soon.

Back in uni, I had a day job as a machinist and I share your hate for boring heads! My job was to make extraction plates for some large thermoplastic injection moulds and each plate had a lot of precision holes required to be made... and I had a 20 year old boring head on a 20 year old and poorly maintained CNC milling machine and some holes required an accuracy of up to two hundreds of a millimetre (0.75thou). It wasn't fun! And I had been hired as a mechanical designer, which was my actual profession and expertise. Love your channel and it's slowly restoring my love for tinkering and machining.

I haven’t done it, but I believe that the head on your mill could have been tilted a full ninety degrees to allow you to drill the end holes in the frames. I’m not sure if it would have been worth the effort though. As far as being too lazy to bother getting the right torch for the job is concerned I think that pretty much all of us can relate. I know I certainly can. The good news is that the older I get the more able I am to avoid the temptation and just do things the right way the first time.

@syninys100 Ай бұрын

@14:35 it looks to me like the t-slots on that rotary table are aligned at 0-90-180-270; which means that to round the end of long stock aligned to 0 degrees would always require moving a clamp. But, is there any reason you couldn't align the stock to the y-axis at, say, 45 degrees, and then do the rounding through 45 to 135 degrees? That would put the workpiece angularly midway between the t slots, and, hopefully, allow the 180 cut to be made without moving clamps?

In the real word it's industry standard from everything from hot rolled crap steel on snow plow frames to super alloy race car parts. - Even once "moved" the holes in a nuclear waste disposal pump (You should have seen the drawings and spec book for the repair,,,,,Weighed more then the pump!) At any rate you are getting good enough with the silver braze to fix about anything you have been working on. Keep up the good work.
