Beautiful model, with real presence. I think the NG6's are probably the finest looking narrow-gauge class that there is. Waiting for Maxitrak to announce a 7 1/4" version

How do you oil the valve gear once the boiler is on?
@tacfoley44435 ай бұрын
It's great to see it running at last! However, next time, could you run it at about a quarter of the great velocity you achieved with the 'Mallard'-beating run there! Also, please tell me about the caboose - I built the last such caboose made as a kit by Mr Sheridan and sold by Phil Dipple of Phil's narrow gauge - it also has a full interior, too.

Is the long green part of the boiler (going to the smoke box) only hollow or is it also part of the place where the water goes ?

There’s water in the front part of the boiler along with the burner tube.

Just a thought. Maybe consider this already. Could make a wagon with the same motors and wheels so could give it more grunt.

As an optional extra. As standard it is designed to be a one fill/one run model.
@anythingoldmechanical Жыл бұрын
A beautiful looking engine, but the repetitive retopping up of the gas, and the time it takes to get steam up, would irritate me. Although gas is very clean, i think that in this case with this engine, you would be better off with a proper fire box with a grate, and run on Coal beans.. The only problem then of course, is it has no boiler feed pump to keep the boiler supplied, as unlike gas- coal cannot be extinguished quickly and easily if the water level gets low! So im at a loss for an answer!😅

I'd advise checking out part 2, turned out Alex was trying to fill up with an empty can! Once set up correctly it ran for a solid 30-40 minuites on one tank of gas.

A truly BEAUTIFUL engine, and my only criticism, is if needs a belly tank, with a boiler feed pump, and a mechanical lubricator.. Other than that, its impossible to say anything negative about this superb work of art!
@MaxitrakMes Жыл бұрын
There is an option for a belly tank with hand pump for this model. If you check out our video running the maroon engine you will see that in place! Definitely makes a difference to the overall look of the engine and a good little top up pump too.
