16 - A trip to the pub with my 6" scale Garrett 4CD

Lovely to see you out and about on your machine, well deserved! When things start going wrong it's easy to become overwhelmed by a sense of anxiety and panic (well it was for me the first time round anyway!). Just remember that the people around you have all been through the same thing and will be there to help.

100%. I'm still hugely nervous, particularly as she's such a large machine, but it's getting easier with time.

[@andylee9977]

great channel just wets my appetite to take the plunge and build a engine been wanting to do this for years.

[@SteamOTR]

If you're at any of the shows I'm going to you're welcome to come and have a look and a chat. 👍

Brilliant video mate, glad to see you out and about and enjoying it! Sounds like you're not too far from me, I live in Cheltenham! 👍

[@SteamOTR]

Yeah, we're not far away. I used to work in Cheltenham, like it alot.

[@anthonygiglio9860]

Great Video😊

[@SteamOTR]

Thanks! 😊

[@johnfebaines]

It's a lot of work to go for a steam up!

[@SteamOTR]

Yes, but worth it in the end. The fun is the whole process, not just the driving.

[@andyg3]

what trailer have you got mate? i just bought a 6 inch little samson! need a way of getting it around

[@SteamOTR]

It's a Ifor Williams BV105. With ramp and Barn doors. Works well.

[@PaulByrne-wh5uv]

There's a moment at 9:30 ish when the stack isn't emitting any visible cloud, is that nirvana or just something that happens ?

[@SteamOTR]

Depends on alot of different factors, and you're unlikely to get that if the engine is working hard.

[@Creativecoverz]

Looks great. What coal are you using these days?

[@SteamOTR]

Luckily I happened to grab a couple of tons of Welsh before all the issues hit, so I'm still on that. Will be for a couple of years probably!
