Hi. I've decided to make a boiler similar to this one. Could you tell me, if you don't mind, what diameter the steam pipes are and what size the fittings are (blow off valve ect)? If it's not too much trouble of course? Cheers

Graham, What a wonderful piece of model engineering. I am curious about the track gauges that it is sitting on. It almost looks like 7 ¼", 10 ¼" and 12", or something like that. So where is that?

HI Dave , The Crane is sitting on our multi track steaming bay ,We have 3 1/2 , 5 and 7 inch gauges at our club in Chelmsford Essex ,I have other videos of our Railway on my channel which may help with your question .Thanks for your comments

@@jbhtrams I think there's a 5 inch gauge one somewhere ,I know what you mean though ,I should think it puts people off building one because of the amount of engineering that goes into them like cutting gears etc .it really is museum quality something I could never make ! I am fortunate to own a 7 1/4 gauge Rocket which again is rare in that scale ,built by a late engineer and goes well on one of my recent videos ,thanks for your interest

@@GRAHAM1514 I had, until recently, a 7 1/4" gauge, 1/3rd scale Ffestiniog Railway Conway Castle loco, ex-RAF Wagon 87, and Hudson Bogie wagon No.63. All built by myself for under £300, mainly from scrap and my dad's 1965 Suffolk Colt lawnmower engine and parts! If you look on You Tube under: John on Conway Castle, Wagon 87 first run, And Wagon 63 at Royden Park, something should come up. It was not as precision made as your crane, but was fairly scale and fairly unique. The Hudson Bogie was sold to a lad who drives at Betesycoed, a few years ago. The clutch on C.Castle gave out at Bala in 2017 and was getting too heavy to move about with my arthritis so I recently sold it to Lawrie Rose who presents the blog 'LMM' (Laurie's Mechanical Marvels). If you would like to see pictures email me: [email protected]

My gears were cut by a late friend when we both worked at Vauxhalls. He and the gear cutting machine are now long gone, but their workmanship is still in working order but now near Ipswich, not Wirral. I made a rocking gearbox, with 2 meshed gears, one driven by chain from a driven shaft above. The two meshed gears swung over a gear on the driving axle. This was controlled by a three notched lever giving Forward/Neutral/Reverse. The gearbox was driven by Lawnmower chain from the Lawnmower clutch from the Lawnmower engine. All quality 'BRITISH' items!

Question: Where are steel cables this small and this flexible sourced from? The cables bring to mind picture hanging wire but all of that I've had experience with years ago was coarser and less flexible than these cables.

Graham, nice video, thank you for sharing your tour of the 2022 show. At 8:28 min in, you pan around a large display of engines and cars. Was this a dealer, a personal sales table, or just a show display of stuff ? On this setup, at 8:45 min in, you pan over a small green shunting loco and string of tipper / skips. Can you advise what brand and model loco that is, and same for those cars ?

HI ,Thanks for your interest ,As far as I can remember the stand at 8.28 is a 7/8ths scale display stand ,members get together and show their models , as for the makes of the skips or loco sorry I don't Know ,Binne skips are well known in 16mm but not sure if its them , If you go on Facebook there's 1"and 7/8ths scale Narrow gauge Railway modellers group ,might be a idea to ask them, Hope this helps
