Model engine breaks

[15scale]

with that glass tray are you getting ready to put it in the oven?

[PKMotoren]

The engine needs oil!

[bfc454]

Two words boys....... Loctite.... and Lubrication....

[Kisko1998]

So sad... It was a beautiful D10 engine...

...and now its broken. :(

[tractorboy8420]

you really need lube...

[scott93257]

Put it together right the first time and this won't happen.

[napolean34]

lol very panicky...

[elementric1]

Looks like fun. Did you get it to work in the end?

[aidanhd]

absolute crap. learn how to make an engine

[steamwally]

well said!

[bladerizer]

You really think he made this engine?

It's a Wilesco, for crying out loud. They are known for their bad quality and also they can and will break when not taken care of properly.

And by the way, I'm quite surprised how nobody even thought of removing the burner in the first place.

[banditpredator]

@bladerizer The quality of the engines isn't bad. I have got two of them, a D161 and the biggest model at the moment, the D24 el. The engine in the video - a D10 - is also available as a kit for self assembly, which is called D9. So it could be possible that he made this engine.

[bladerizer]

@banditpredator Yeah, I might have generalized here... I have read some negative feedback from users, that's why. Maybe all Wilescos aren't that bad, maybe only some are. I personally think their design is very nice.

And yes, I actually read the description after posting. Shouldn't have done that. Sorry.

[banditpredator]

@bladerizer No problem ;)

[15scale]

@bladerizer .....right, whenever there is a problem yank the burner out!

[9020powrmax]

@15scale And blow the boiler pressure down too......

[ntrains]

#5 you are completely fuckin retarted, do you see the flywheel moving up and down it's not supposed to do that.

[evelroy]

Stumbled across this......The British accents made the video!

[astro1218]

THE WINNER IS GRIFINDOOR!

[wcbol1]

It is because of IDIOTS like this that they required people working with steam to have a TRADES ticket !!!!!!!!!!

[DiggaBua]

??? I don`t know what I can say anymore....

[superfunnyman123]

needs oiled

[And197488]

Ihr Nullen. So macht man das Teil kaputt. Erst mal Anleitung lesen und dann Spaß haben. Hihihi

[ste123456789012]

bunch of geeks get a life saddos

[derneuschooer]

oha ihr opfer.............

[petterwill]

what a pleb!

[lasergeak]

i don't think you have put some oil in it did

you

[jonnotantan]

Anyway, I've now realised via bodging that I can get this to run a D.C. motor backwards: making a generator. I'll try and get some stuff together to make something usefull.. Anyone got any decent ideas of what a small generator could run?

[JoeDeSmid]

yes i do, you could run some LED's or a small pcoket radio or replace the batary of an old mobile phone and connect the generator to it, if you want more just give a jell, Joe

[JPMADDOG1]

light bulbs/leds

[SH1974]

@jonnotantan You can power some LED lamps or a small ventilator or anything like that.

Some guy here does charge his phone with his Wilesco!

But it seems, Your engine needs to be repaired. If I see it right, the crankshaft has become loose.

The machine should run much more smooth, even because it is an older "grayplate" machine. Usualy they run pretty smooth!

[bugz000]

lmao, i had one of them, first one i ever had (it was my teahcers, he lent it me) and i didnt let the pressure off and i took the safety vaulve off to add water, and the boiler emtied its contents onto my face, sending the safety vaulve off like a rocket,... never saw it again, lucky we had a spare in the box :S

[ImportFr3Ak]

sounds and even looks like a toy train LOL

but hey good job!!

[jonnyk5614]

Jonno, I'm building mine from complete scratch!

[91STR0K3R383]

wow that family is full of nerds!!

[checktwo2two]

You'd probably be much better had you come from such a close family.

[daverave2204]

It was clearly loose but i dont blame you for not being able to see

[quietfamily]

that screaching sound hurt my teeth!

[sparky0506]

How the hell did we win two world wars!

They are the future, yep were screwed!

[robertchutney]

Nothing new,I got such toy as Christmas present 55 years ago,only difference was,the boiler was in upright position!Sweet memories...:-)

[jamesandrew2000]

Its a fun, interesting toy. I don't understand all the negative commentary and nationalism on YouTube. Pointless.

[getercrunker]

what the fuck is that things purpose in life????????

[natey1112]

interesting to people

[geoff390]

At 50 seconds you could clearly see the wheel was loose so why did you keep turning it? Nice model though

[jonnotantan]

I couldn't actually see it from my side/viewpoint, though I am quite blind anyway - hence the glasses :)

[stonerboi27]

"there we go!.. there we go!" haha sounded like you invented a time machine or something LOL but is that thing fully custom? it did break but pretty impressive if you made it from ground up. keep em commin =)

[demoteam9181]

fukin limey

[jonnotantan]

I rest my case. what do you hope to achieve? again, I am quite happy to be corrected in ANY way, but you aren't exactly being coherent here. AGAIN, I ask humbly for your opinion.

[demoteam9181]

im not american u jerk off im canada

[jonnotantan]

Well pardon my mistake then, but ultimately it is irrelevant. The fact is, if you don't like a video, or it's subject, or for that matter the nationality of the person posting it, You don't have to announce it to the whole world, certainly not in that sort of tone. I'm perfectly happy to apologise for whatever and however I have seemingly offended you...

[Koralaa]

demoteam9181,

You're ignorant and offensive. Most Canadians are the opposite. If you're Canadian, you are one tenth of one percent and I'm sorry and apologize to humanity on your behalf.

You need therapy.

[demoteam9181]

stupid english people

[jonnotantan]

I don't much care for your attitude. If you have nothing relevant to say, do it somewhere else. I haven't exactly gone to your channel and said "stupid american people"

[robertchutney]

Don't do as I do,but do as I said!Your IQ about 65?,I guess...:-DDD BTW,I am not English,I am Czech!

[nibbler125]

i saw those on e bay for like 120$ plus another 30$ for shipping quite expensive if you ask me

[jonnotantan]

hmm, lets see, I got mine for £75ish, which is around $150... but you have to bear in mind that these things are mostly hand made/supervised... and also in germany, and not in some oriental country where they pay the workers $5 a year or something...

[fordwillkillyou]

rip off! stupid britans like to rip people off

[jonnotantan]

Yes, It is quite expensive... however, I saw it selling for nearly $200 on certain websites, so this was relatively cheap. I don't really trust ebay, and the ones on it looked a little knocked up.

[fordwillkillyou]

why would you spend $200 on something that cant do sqaut you could proby get a realy hit n miss for under or around $200!

[jonnotantan]

yeah, I have to admit that this was my first foray into the whole steam engine thing - Ig norance is bliss and all that :(

[jonnotantan]

Oh, and the idea was to specifically get a steam engine which I could build from the ground up - the idea of steam technology has always enchanted me - though I agree that a hit and miss would be MUCH more practical :(

[matthewpeter]

you know thats a pretty hilarious comment you made there.....the engine is manufactured in Germany ;)

[themackis]

lol I have the same one!!!

[jonnotantan]

Really? where did you get it from?

[Bobensen]

Yeah... I think you left something out... Also try spinning the wheel the other way so It stays tight

[jonnotantan]

yeah, one of the screws on teh flywheel housing had been omitted by my friend (i was doing the boiler housing bit) but we only found out after it died :(

[produKtNZ]

LOL "It's loose it's loose!" It might fall apart and disintegrate, so lets spin the flywheel. :D rofllmfao

[rangerssteamtoys]

if you had any idea of how many problems I have had with steam engiens that would be no big deal

[jonnotantan]

wel.. I've got it running beautifully now.. but i can't find the video... bear with me..

[YukiPandaBubble]

looks really cool, i wanna try that sometime.

[jandreassticman]

OMS!

[elvemageownz123]

chuga chuga boom boom, lawl

[fredgt28]

I thought he was english until I saw his face and realized hes a Chinese British. Why are Chinese so dominant in brilliancy wherever they go? hehehe

[lederwurst]

I'd say the german "Wilesco" steam engine is kewl.

[donnuh]

maybe because their not losers.....

[fredgt28]

Perhaps....Perhaps your right

[donnuh]

no, i know im right lol

[Shanklez]

Singaporean actually. Stop being so racist.

[marek0086]

brilliancy?! it doesnt work!....LOL

[YukiPandaBubble]

look like fun ^^ you should get some more vids!

[invendr]

Solo un china poteva romperlo...

I soliti bambini imbranati...

[slartibartfast69]

sounds like you need some oil on it

i've got the same engine and it needs a drop of oil every 20seconds or so

[matthewpeter]

don't use pliers, the thing won't burn you!  pliers mark engines!

[jonnotantan]

firstly, Im using pliers because the guy who sold it to me told me to, and secondly the little whistly thing isnt very well designed: the exhaust vents straight onto your fingers... and thirdly, I had previously burnt my fingers trying to fiddle with the whistle while it was heating up, and was not wanting to repeat the whole spectacle of amusing everyone in the room but runnign round clutching my finger and swearing :)

[matthewpeter]

the 7 1/4" gauge loco I drive does that when you pull the whistle chain. My fingers are so roughened up through driving locos now I can do it without a rag!

[jonnotantan]

A rag!, of course, how could i be so stupid... and apart from that stunning revelation I've just had a rather good idea for some sort of steam-proof gauntlet... thank you for that! :)

[matthewpeter]

lol

[matthewpeter]

did you get it going by the way? I like Wilescos they go well! I want a roller from them.

[jonnotantan]

Yeah I did, after I cuffed the head of my friend and screwed all th ebolts together properly it ran like a dream, made a really wonderful sound as well and also had enough power left to drive simple lego machinery, through a gearbox.

[matthewpeter]

cool!

[Mamodman123]

Cheap Wilesco crap, buy a Mamod guys!

[jonnotantan]

Well, I wanted to get a Mamod, but they dont sell any budget-kits of stationaries (at least, not where i looked)

[girthchicken]

Try oiling it ;)

[jonnotantan]

Well, when there aren't any screws hyoldign the flywheel down, I'd say ensurign the pistons can move freely is slightly irrelevant! :)

[adfgfds]

Can't rush building these things, or else this is what happens

[jonnotantan]

Actually, a friend came round and insisted that he build the engine housing. However, he was too "manly" to use the instructions and left out the screws for the flywheel bracket. Needless to say, I was slightly angry after this video was taken

[Mamodman123]

You can get older Mamods off ebay for around 30 pounds upwards. Sometimes cheaper. They are miles and miles higher in build quality and have a great charm about them.

I personally don't think Wilesco are that good, a bit cheapy. But they can run ok. I wouldn't use plyers on the whistle, wrap a cloth around your fingers.

[Alisterwolf66]

*laughs* Yeah, I would be too. Even the "cheapo" Wilescos aren't particularly cheap!

Nice little setup, though! Think I'm going to get me one, one of these days.
