That is very cool!I've got another newbie question; how come all the smoke and steam is coming out a hole very close to the cab, and NOT coming out the smoke stack? I thought that steam engines had a blast pipe under the smoke stack where the steam exits, and this helped provide draft to keep the smoke and heat coming that way through the boiler? Inquiring (and under educated minds) want to know! Kim
Nice photos and videos Stew, some nice big engines there - are they compound or 3 cylinders or something? Sounded like a lot of exhaust beats. I took my bought Ajax to club for steam test on Tuesday night, it didn’t pass, I have a few things to sort: locking device on safety valve spring retainers, a couple of pipes on back head have soft solder rather than silver, blower is too aggressive - I am going to restrict the amount the valve opens as it draws the fire too much, the safety valves have no chance of keeping up! And I had a leak from stream dome. Think I damaged the gasket. On the plus side I had a couple of laps around track and it pulls excellently ! Very happy! How is yours going ?NickSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
