Accucraft Baldwin 4-4-0 Live Steam Locomotive

[LoserMcBeaver]

Hey nice train! :3 Just wondering what's the steam oil for?

[bcschmerker]

Well dome on the manual-control demo! Some miniature live-steam operators rig their locomotives with radio control for the throttle and reverser(/purge cocks).

Although it has a brass bell & whistle they are not functional.  It's kind of a coincidence that during one part of the video you will hear an actual train whistle off in the distance. There are some live steam models that have working whistles.

How do you operate the bell and whistle on that train

does it have a water pump in the tender??

[AkcentStryker]

Hmm I didn't know about that. If you could, can u post a video of the contents in the cab and how you operate it?

Thanks.

[AkcentStryker]

Really? Hmm I didn't know about that. If you could a video on the contents of the cab would be much appreciated

Thanks.

[AkcentStryker]

Cool thanks I want one of these but I wasn't sure how well it would talk my smallest curve of 8ft diameter. How do you like it with it not having a sight glass? I would want to add a goodall valve but it's risky with no sight glass.

@AkcentStryker This model has a sight glass.

[AkcentStryker]

What radius is your track there?

[pghhdvideo]

@AkcentStryker Those are LGB R3 curves.

i wish they models of the virginia and truckee 4-4-0s like that.

[ColumbiaAndHoodRiver]

i'd add a bark box

Ｍｙ american 4-4-0 the same one requires warm water bath at least under25℃.Ｉｓ your loco similar?

[pghhdvideo]

I just use tap water or the same distilled water that I'm running in the boiler.

[urara3776]

Ｍy 4-4-0 runs well as your one runs.Ｉ'm expectimg that the maker will rerease new coaches soon!

[Rachmaninov08]

Does accucraft include the syringes with the locomotive?

[pghhdvideo]

They give you two small ones (without needles of course). One for taking excess steam oil out if you overfill it and also one for taking a small amount of water out of the boiler when filling. I've never used either of them. I found a really big one that I use exclusively to fill the boiler.

fantastic!

[Inuyasha4lif]

Great footage!

I wish i had an accucraft 4-4-0

right now all i have is a British built Mamod steam tractor but i hope soon to mov eon to these great engines. 5 stars

I pay $1.65 for a can of fuel and get about 2 1/2 hours of run time per can. Your idea would definitely work but I kind of enjoy waiting for it to steam up.
