During harvest season, does the railway haul the produce?

@gasmith841 Күн бұрын

Now there's an idea :)

@Slickrope1924 Күн бұрын

@gasmith841 Curious about it since our little railway helps with our garden. From seeds to full grown produce and everything in between. Not to mention it makes it a lot more fun when the railway actually earns revenue!

This is a stupid question I know, how do you start and stop them? like the turntable for the warehouse, does it work/move? great video

@gasmith841 4 күн бұрын

All the locomotives shown in this video are live steam. Their speed is dependent on the amount of steam being allowed to go to the cylinders. This is achieved through a steam regulator. In these models the regulator can be manually adjusted or via a servo linkage in radio-controlled models. The forward/reverse direction is dependent on the position of an adjustable linkage in the valve-gear, again operated either manually or via r/c. The turntable on this layout does not work, its just for show

Not an Aster Shay, Geoff. They only ever made two models, Alyshan and Maryland. De Alyshanhad a later gas version. Your Shay looks like the first Accucraft version

Thanks for the correction Nick. The owner probably told me the specifications correctly, but my memory got wiped clean after inhaling the blue smoke from the B&O shunter :) It's an age thing

@stormpolderrail45mm2 2 күн бұрын

The first shay you see, is an Aster/Accucraft shay released this year. The last shay is the first accucraft live steam shay. And yes they look alike.

@nickmoeken8876 2 күн бұрын

Nice one, but Accucraft NEVER USED Aster’s name on the T18 Shay. All versions are Accucraft, nothing to do with Aster

@gasmith841 24 күн бұрын

The first 8 are slate wagon kits from Lineside Hut. Their load is 3d printed, also from Lineside (no longer in business). The rear wagon is a Resurgam kit, the load I made myself from individual cut plasticard. I have another 3 of these to complete

What construction method for the track please?

@gasmith841 Ай бұрын

The support pillars are scaffolding pipe and they sit 60cm deep in the ground. At the top of the pipes are self-made metal framework pieces that support the track bed and can adjust the track bed height bi 4 cm. The track bed itself is made from a specially weather resistant board known as 'betonplex' here in NL. The board is covered with roofing felt, glued to the board, wrapped around the edges of the board and tidily finished off with strip wood. The LGB track is layed on top.

When I was a kid, so we are talking early 1980’s, a work colleague of my father has a live steam railway in his garden. Perhaps 3 or 4 inch? It ran round the garden and through the garage in a circle. Parts of the track lifted up for when not in use. . . He was a tool maker, and built it all himself. He also had a small working (not steam) locomotive that was about 2cm long, that ran on a small circular track about 7cm in diameter, on the mantle piece above the living room fire. It ran on compressed butane from lighter refills. It did not burn the gas, it just ran off the gas as it expanded. Fill it up from a can of lighter gas and it ran around the track for about 15 seconds before the gas expanding caused it to get covered in condensation that froze up, and it stopped, frozen. He just wanted to see how small he could make one that worked.
