  • how did you design the walsherts valve gear? please inbox me on how you did that.... do you have the drawings? also how did you design the tender for an oil fired set up and still have enough space for water?

  • @thebraveengineer This locomotive was built by Bill Cochran who is no longer with us. Bill was always a strong proponent of marketing the club. He is the person who invited me out for the first time. He was always quick to offer his home machine shop to guests. We sure miss him. His son Eric is also a fine machinist, and last I knew, has a Mikado in the works. A good place for these questions is the chaski forum "The Home Machinist"

  • THAT LOOKS LIKE AN ALLEN. AM I RIGHT

    ??

  • There may be some Allen castings in there, I am not too sure.

  • whats that thing on the side that has steam coming out at 1:30 video time

  • It's a steam powered pump that puts water into the boiler. When the train is moving, the axle pump will usually put enough water in. There is also the steam injector and a hand pump for emergencies. So, there are 4 ways to put water into the boiler.

  • Wow Buddy somebody pretty stupid refueling the engine while the fire is going pretty stupid thats all i have to say!!!! Fire anybody!!!

  • Hey I live about 10 min from here. I got to see this, this looks really cool and extremely awesome.

  • Loco is Kero fired and operates at 125# steam pressure. If you like steam and don't mind getting dirty it sure is a lot of fun. If you have a live steam club in your area see if you may visit them.

  • This steamer runs on kerosene. You can see Eric filling up the tank at about 00:40. As far as I know, it just drips into a pan; there's no atomizer.
