Traction Engine, Steam Engine, Miniatures, model, coal, steam, Burrell, Foster, all that kind of thing.
We wanted to learn if traction engines were going to be for us, so we took ourselves off to Legacy Vehicles to meet Tom and learn all about an engine.
This is the first of 2 parts, the second is focused on learning to drive an engine and about taking it on the road - proper Steam on the Road
Part 2 can be found here - • Vlog 2 - Traction Engi...
Legacy Vehicles are here - www.legacyvehicles.co.uk/

Huge amount of information presented here - at pace, but very well communicated. Always a pleasure to find a channel taking the intelligent approach, rather than the simplistic - two 'naturals' in front of the camera- wisely left to do the talking! Look forward to Pt.2. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful, little thing! Yet so complicated... Yet so friendly... I wish today's cars would be like that.

In Australia under our Boiler Code mandates that the bottom of the Water Glass must be 10% of the crown to the top of shell above the top of the crown sheet.

I've had to add a sleeve to the water glass on my engine to ensure it's high enough

There's one thing I was always curious about when it comes to models. For traction engines or other model engines, they're classified by inches like 2" or 6". What exactly do they measure that is 2" or so on for the models?

@SteamOTR 2 жыл бұрын

That's a really good question. I'll add something in to the next video to cover that.

The scale of the engine is the size comparison compared to the full size engine, i.e. 6" to the foot means it is half the size of the original or 1 in 2. 4" scale is one third or 1 in 3.

As Grahams Engineering said, the scale is x-inches to the foot so 2" is 1/6th scale, 6" is 1/2 etc. For rail however, the scale is given by the wheel gauge. So a 5" loco will have wheels with flanges 5" apart, there's also 3.5" and 7.25" that are quite common (10.25" less so)
