April, May, June Production photos 2018
Wow April already, and as i like to group the posts in 3 month sets, a new topic !!
first photo this month is the finished 6inch foden chassis rails. as always, im glad to see the back of these. after machining they go over to welding to have the front sections attached...
back on the machines and im drilling the side braces...
and checking they all fit together...
another part seen in last weeks post was the 4inch burrell weigh-shaft bracket casting. i have just started these today. half the batch will be the standard burrell item and the other half will be the slightly modified Roller bracket...
another standard burrell part that will be used un the roller is the cylinder block valve buckle. again, I've just started these today...
with our big machine finished on the chassis rails its now straight on to the final milling on the new batch of boilers that were pressure tested and signed off this week...
and i thought i would include a few photos of the parts that have been made on the lathes this week. nothing too interesting but it does show that the machines are kept busy making all the extra parts and fittings...
anyone want to guess at whats being made in the welding bay this week ??? yes, its boilers again the main bodies of the 6inch foden boilers are tacked together...
and then you can see how the inner fire box and stays are added and all the joins are fully welded. if you consider how hard it must be to get into all these areas and the fact that some of the welds have to be continuous, you can appreciate the skill involved in the making of a boiler.

Craig,
I noted on your last posts that the wagon parts were mainly all sitting on the shelf waiting to go out the door.
Is there any news on the next kit?
Cheers
Nick

Re: April, May, June Production photos 2018
Nick, yes the wagon kits have had a lot done already, but there are quite a few more parts to make. this week production concentrated on the much smaller kit for the Roller. the wagon kits are likely to be ready by the end of the month
This weeks photos...
as said above, machine production has mainly focused on the next roller kit this week, and the kit is due to go out next week (Wednesday i think)
the rear cylinder covers that were turned a few weeks back are all finished...
the cylinder block valve buckles that i started last week are all done...
The burrrel/roller weigh-shaft casting is just about done. After normal machining the casting is shortened to make it into the roller version. The central hole will also be blocked up. Why put the hole in you ask?? well all the machining jigs and their mounting pins are designed to use that hole as a datum point, all i did was drill a smaller hole and make new mounting pins
cross-heads are on their last op...
adding the slide bar grooves...
and the piston rod glands are done...
the welding section is currently welding up all the 6inch foden chassis brackets that we machined a few weeks back...
and as for boiler making... well i went into the welding bay and the stuff on the table looked exactly the same as last week although Harry assures me that it is a different boiler. just at the same stage of build scroll up and look at last weeks photo... it looks exactly the same as that
but i have got a photo of some recently finished 2inch boilers for you...

Re: April, May, June Production photos 2018
showmans generators are waiting on a delivery of magnets !!!
injectors are currently with a subcontractor.
i only really have information on the items that are currently in production. nothing for the above items is currently being worked on on the shop floor. i would suggest a call to the office if anyone requires more details. sorry i can't be of more help
this weeks photos !!! the main concentration this week has been on a couple of lyka kits. the first being brake pedals and handbrake items and the second being the cylinder blocks and crank kit...
first up are the foot plates for the pedals. on the previous lykas these were blank with rubber covers (from a classic mini). this time they have a grid pattern milled into them...
the quickest way to do this in large quantities was on the angle plate, set at 45 degrees...
the only down side to this is that they had to go in twice, once for each direction of cut...
and these are the pedal arms that they will be welded to...
also been a lot of different brackets made for this kit. most are already packed but these ones are waiting to be welded...
here we have a lyka cylinder block being tapped, its likely that this kit will go out before the brakes as i believe we are waiting for some bought in items, possibly flexi pipes ??
onto the wagon kits. it was said last week but there are still a number of items to make for the wagon kits, the main ones being the springs. this photo is about half the ones that need cutting and this includes springs for both types of wagon and the bowser...
the DCC kit 8 is almost done. this includes winch rollers, brake shaft and arms and water valve. in currently making the spring holder for the brake arms...
ive also had another delivery of 6inch foden front wheels to drill and bore...
and these water pumps have appeared from the manual section...
in the welding section... yeah, its 6inch foden boilers again at least its in a different position this week. as you can see, the parts that were tacked together a few weeks ago are now being fully welded. a few seconds before this photo was taken, the welds around the stays were glowing hot...
you can see from this photo how tight it is to weld inside the fire boxes...

Re: April, May, June Production photos 2018
sorry for the delay this week guys, we have been really busy this week getting the Lyka cylinder and crankshaft kit ready for despatch on monday. i did find the time to take some photos but was too busy to stop and post them on friday.
Here they are...
with a delay on bought in parts for the Lyka brake kit we pushed on this week to finish the rest of the parts that go with the cylinders. these are the main engine supports...
and the cylinders...
and cylinder mounting plates...
the crankshafts are sent out assembled, but will need dissembling to fit...
all the parts together...
and mounted in the chassis...
with that kit out the way we are pushing on to finish the wagon kits. i have LOADS of these brackets to make !!!
Harry has moved on from the 6inch boilers and is preparing plates for the Roller...
and these have just arrived, going to be fun !!!!

most of the work on the machines this week has been for the wagon kits. one machine is still busy on the springs and the others are working on all the different brackets...
a very complicated tow hitch bracket...
i also have these showmans brake shafts to finish, the square thread is cut on them by a subcontractor and i just have to fit, drill and taper ream the locating rings...
something from the lathes, a Burrell chain shaft bush...
we have test fitted the Lyka steam chests and valve guides to our control model...
a pallet full of 6inch foden rear wheels have arrived. the brake drum you can see is our test jig to make sure all the holes are drilled correctly...
6inch foden spur gears...
and in the welding bay Harry is still prepping boiler plates. most of the counter sinking and prep is dome by hand...

nearly done on the various wagons/bowser kits now. the springs are finally all drilled and shaped and are just waiting to go for heat treating...
the other two machines have been busy on the various brackets, including spring mounting brackets...
brake wheel brackets...
and rather complicated tow hitch brackets...
on the large machine we have just started another batch of 4inch Burrell cylinder blocks...
and on the large lathe, the cylinder block saddles. for those who have not seen these before, each "drum" will provide 4 finished saddles. more on these next week !!!
the Burrell chain shaft bushes from last week are just awaiting drilling...
also awaiting drilling, 2inch Burrell rear wheels...
in the welding bay, something you may not have seen before. the very first stage of the boiler making process is the cutting of the barrels from the tube, each tube is cut in half to provide two barrels. this is none manually around a sheet template.
and after weeks of preparation, harry is starting to jig up the first of the roller boilers...

all the machining work on the two wagon kits is done and the spring are now off for heat treatment.
the Bu cylinder blocks that were having the bores done on the big machine last week are now moving on to the 4th axis machine. this op will work on all the remaining sides of the block, adding steam chests and all necessary holes in one go...
remember the big drums that were being turned last week? well these are now finished on the lathe. turned inside and out, these will become the saddles for the cylinder blocks. when the blocks are finished on the 4th axis these will go on and basically end up looking like a washing machine drum !! each one will be segmented into four saddles. hopefully i will get a photo of this for next week...
so whats on the big machine this week then?? 6inch foden rear axle box castings...
these are machined, bolted together, machined again, separated and then finished. this is one half having the last op done...
and the other half waiting for a final skim...
and also work on the LH and RH bottom bracket plates...
onto boilers, and most of the parts need to be prepped for weld. some we can machine...
but some parts just have to be done by hand,like the barrel. its a noisy and dusty job so harry has been banished to the back yard

all machining on the 6inch foden rear axle boxes is finished. all parts are being sent out as complete units to avoid any confusion...
also going with this kit are the rear brake drums, these are on the lathe at the moment and then just need the holes for the mounting lugs drilling...
the rest of this week has been spent on the 2inch burrell bearing housings. these are cut from solid brass. op1...
and then op2...
and the other hand and the oiler cap...
also making some 4inch burrell lower steering brackets...
and the cylinder blocks are not quite finished on the 4th axis so i haven't started on those saddles yet...
the bought in parts for the Lyka brake kit arrived and that kit has been sent out...
Showmans crank gear guards in the welding bay...
and the first of the Roller boilers are half done...

Re: April, May, June Production photos 2018
first, to answer a little puzzle i spotted on face book regarding the Roller/Burrell cylinder blocks that are currently in production. it was pointed out that "how can we still be making them when some roller customers had their cylinder some weeks ago", so how did we manage this ??? The roller and standard Burrell blocks are virtually the same, the difference being the roller's has 4 extra holes to mount something in a future kit. to get the blocks done on time we simply pulled some Burrell blocks from stock, added the 4 holes and sent them out. the blocks currently in production will become a mixture of both types to replenish the stock and complete the rest of the roller batch, hope this clears this up
this weeks photos...
its been a short week this week and an even shorter week for me. at the start of the week Mark finished the 6inch foden rear brake drums and they have now been dispatched.
i returned on Thursday to carry on with the 2inch bearing housings...
im also working on the small "fins" that get soldered in before the final operation...
the 4th axis machine is now free so i have finally made a start on the cylinder block saddles. for anyone who was struggling to work out how those drums become saddles, hopefully this will help...
they do have a run time of over an hour, and it also runs with coolant, so taking a video is going to be fun, but i do hope to create some kind of film before the last one is done...
on the lathes, showmans/road loco HP pistons...
and in the welding/ manual area they are currently working on the water cart main tank...
and the end plates...
and harry is working on a small scale lyka boiler to test and prove the fit of the tubes...
Good news for the people waiting for the new Showmans generators. out test model has been finished and tested...
here are the original internals...
and our modified ones, using a set of very strong magnets. so strong that you could hardly lift the box they came in if it was placed on anything metal !!!!
and does it work ??? yes it does. spinning at just 510 rpm the output was 13 volts at 30 amps (quoted from Ian, so forgive me if thats wrong but electrics are not my thing). anyway. it is very impressive as our set of test bulbs is almost impossible to look at !!!

Re: April, May, June Production photos 2018
got the video done. its actually dramatically edited instead of speeded up
it is basically one program that is run 4 times around the drum. so each saddle uses the same set of code but to move to the next segment i simple do a 90 degree movement in incremental mode. thats why you can see the drum jumping back and forth sometimes. at over an hour long, i didn't film the full run, but you can see most of the work done on one segment. you may also notice that not all the segments have been worked on. again this was just to speed up the filming...

this weeks photos...
so after the saddles are machined they go to the manual section to be separated and cleaned up. after that they come back to the machines to be countersunk. this is done on the "inside" and the saddle has to sit at the correct angle...
most of this week has been spent on finishing the 2inch bearing housings. after machining all the sub-assemblies they are silver soldered together and then come back onto the machines for final milling. the RH housing...
LH housing...
and LH cap...
also working on some 2inch spokes...
Harry is welding up fire boxes...
and 6inch foden brake bands are being formed...
also this week we have had a delivery of wood for the wagons, this is just half of it. all final cutting and drilling is done by us...

Hi Craig,
Once again great photo's showing the work in progress look forward to the updates every week. Following the successful testing of the new inners for the showman's dynamo's, any idea when we will be getting the final two kits ?
regards
Steve

Re: April, May, June Production photos 2018
this weeks photos. first off, the showmans dynamo kits. well the testing is still going on. this week we have made a new "smaller" version of the prototype. this gives out even more power than the larger one and will be able to fit into both casings. i dont know when these last kits will be going out as the next stage is to work out how it will fit to the existing parts and manufacture any bits needed...
on the machines this week, showmans/roadloco bearing housings...
and various levers for the 6inch foden rear brake kit...
a slight difference on the new batch of this kit is that the rear shoes will be a fabricated part rather than the cast parts we used before. this is because we had a really hard time getting them cast without them cooling too fast and going rock hard. these fabricated shoes will need final machining but hopefully they will be better to work on...
6inch foden crankshafts being assembled...
Lyka pistons...
and more engine parts...
and rear bench seat frames...

Re: April, May, June Production photos 2018
just to let you know that next weeks photos may either be delayed or they could even be a bit early.
we are all helping set up at the Banbury show next Friday so the photos may have to wait till the weekend. But if i do get some spare time next Thursday there is a chance i may post them early
