Lynn Robinson. Showman Scenic Part 2

Hi All

Just a test video with the new camera. Audio is muffled as I did not have my external recorder.

I bored out the water feed tap on the injector. So now there is more volume available to the injector. Cold run looks promising.

BTW

My other activity that has been taking a lot of time up. Driving railway locomotive at Ness Islands Railway.

Hi All

Crystal was out at the weekend and I got a little video done when going round the ring.

Hi Lynn,

is it really almost 1 year since we discussed about axle lubrication and your modifications...  

Anyways after a lot of this and that I now finally manage to get around to the modification myself. Followed your footsteps and will be using same approach (i.e. if I may => copyrights ) What I am looking at at this moment is the way you fixed the rear axle oilers to the brackets: looks like soft soldered? Correct?
The oiler comes only with a hex head unlike the STW oilers which one can mount using the nut provided.

Cheers

Hi

Yes. Soft solder. It is far enough away from heat to not be a problem.

Hi All

Crystal was out for a steam up last Monday. Here is videos of the steam raising and running session.

Getting ready

Since I was having injector problems. It was time to take it off and fix.

As suspected I was getting air over the water as the joint behind the injector on the water feed was too loose. A few more wraps of PTFE should sort it.

Thanks Lynn,

will use liqid thread sealant this time, though on mine.
Any issue with injector not being vertical after nipping up the tubes? Before removing it was (much more) vertical...

Just wondering.

Cheers

Elwood

Never found a problem. Every refit it sits differently.

hi hi,

and I tried to get it as vertical as possible
Could not imagine why but as it‘s in the instructions I imagined there is a reason for it.

You never stop to learn.

Cheers

Elwood

As long as it is reasonably vertical as it is a vertical injector.

Hi All

Today's little video. Checking the smoke and testing the injector. It was air over water that was causing the injector not to work 2 weeks ago.

Hi Lynn,

yes, great job, should have listened to you   , looks like I was hunting for ghosts again   .

Currently my injector is off still, just did a repair jon on my tender sealing, needs to cure now then I wil reassemble and test again, hoping to get the same result.

Thanks

Cheers

Just a test video with the new camera. Audio is poor but think that is the external microphone.

Crystal has a new fire lighter.

Hi All

A post from last year. It was in the wrong place.



Had Crystal out for a socially distant steam up. A.K.A. by myself.


















I did do a video of some of the running.
