Kerosene will help you get rid of old grease and oil

The engine starting issue is why steam railway locomotives have the pistons 90 degrees apart rather than the more obvious 180 degrees.

Looks awesome, great job.

I love watching the progress of these projects !

Just when you think it couldn't get any better! What a beast, what an experience! You did a great job. Thanks for taking us along.

Great job mate! Did that model have lights in front

I’m curious why the first step is to take off the rods before taking off the base keeper and giving it oil? It’d surely be quicker and easier the other way around, no?

Dont know why. But when i rewatched the short the back of the temder looked like it was lower then usual.

After my initial shock, I was more worried about your tweezers! I was just waiting for them to bend!!

Although I was like 'Noooo!' initially, you do make a very good case for opening them up. Also, a quick scan of ebay shows that they are not especially rare or excessively valuable! If you're patient you can easily pick these up for under a tenner (not necessarily unused), and I would suggest an excellent way of expanding your rolling stock. I picked up four Grafar GWR coaches in a job lot, and it was only when I opened the parcel I realised I had two suburban and two corridor, all different. But they are really nice, and rare enough to look interesting among the Tri-ang, Hornby, Airfix and Mainline coaches. Now need to get some more to make a train of each!

Loved it all and proud to have done a support when the project started. Love David and Lily.

I didn't know model trains had tires 🤯

So Randy Bachmann makes axles split? What the fuck does Fred Turner do then?

Q STOCK YESSSSSS

Hi

love the way the model looks, but ive always had this odd hatred for tender driven models- eitherway, gud job!

first comment!

What a lovely railway in a beautiful setting.

Hi laurie if you have stuck bolts on the loco any chance you get just keep spraying them down with wd40 and just before you leave it spray them down so they have long time to soak

If the engine is buggered... EV conversion? ;)

Please don't sing!!!😂

Hi I was the guard in the hi vis jacket hope you had enjoyed your visit.

How come Jay looks sparkling clean, working on a filthy locomotive???

Hi Lawrie, just caught up with this. Great video and awesome coverage. Thanks for covering Cato Inferno, was a real pleasure to meet you, even if we can't agree on how to spell our names lol. The locos are an A4, two P2s, and GWR railcar and a Steampunk Leander all modified further on here, in case anyone was wondering. I do regular railways too but this is great as an eye-catcher to bring to shows. Regards, Laurie,

Can't wait to see it run. See you Saturday

It both looked and sounded like the box has diarrhoea.😅😅😅

5:20 - In answer to james' comments, I just want you to know that I'm into locomotives, and I can cook. Slight issue, I'm literally on the other side of the world. Oh, and the trains are the wrong gauge here.

Smashing job mate

5:52 - Yea, that's the motivator. It keeps the crew motivated! :D <3

Hello

Soak the new pads before fitting in clean oil

for old and rusty seized parts use brake fluid . dot 3 or dot 4 ideally used !!! it works wonders ! thanks me later ;)

I actually have the same model but weathered like crazy. Same number engine too. Named him robert as I got him on my grandpa funeral.

Maybe add some super glue to them handrails to be more secure …

i did some research and the loco ol49-69 is the og 69

It's good to see you have help and good to see progress continuing.

Gonna have to check my v3 now for that lol, used to detail all the time but someone at a model club fiddled around with the sprung screw and it ended up being fine

Splendid stuff

Where did you get your turntable?

'Bachmann disease' 😂

first comment see you at the nec!

"It's your only fan on the engine." Ouch, that's harsh 😭 Funny though 🤣

Dreadfully speedy narration

Great to watch some English guys work together on a locomotive l, especially jay who comes across as an engineering type. Giving information on the state of components.

Good grief Lawrie, wear some gloves in that parts washer....LOL

That chap on the drill press gave me ptsd triggers,he ought to be more careful

Why don’t you take a pressure washer and get rid of all that “organic matter” and have some clean environment to work on? Getting her a nice washing in the beginning. Now you opened up everything and it is almost not possible anymore.
