B4 Shunter Locomotive HO Live Steam

[@TheBrickCraftsman]

Lovely video! I'm amazed at how the whole system works! Simply brilliant! I also like the fact that there's 'natural' weathering at the back due to the heat.

[@TheElsadogge]

These Lutz trains are the coolest, I just ordered the western American style loco with the cow catcher. I can't wait!

[@robertgenzone5218]

Are you still enjoying your Lutz Heilscher Loco.

[@PRL2204]

She's such a charming engine, I'd love to have something this lovely someday!

[@calypso22]

I normally use steam oil on my engines, but this engine is so tiny that steam oil is too thick and tends to slow it down. A small drop of light oil seems to work best.

[@calypso22]

Thanks. I just spent most of yesterday stripping it down and giving it a good service. Works like new again after a couple of years of regular use.

[@robertgenzone5769]

Hello.When you say regular use about how many hours. Also when does the wick need to be changed and how do you do it.Thank you John.

[@silver760]

I wanted to buy one of these but as I could get no info from the makers or sellers,I gave up.Seems a good tool though,thanks for showing us what one looks/works like.

[@JonatanGronoset]

What a cute little engine, John! Is this a lone specimen or are they manufactured and for sale? I'd prefer mine all black though. ;)

[@calypso22]

Way to go! Welcome to the club LOL. My B4 always manages to bring a smile to my face whenever I run it. Any chance of a video?

[@TheElsadogge]

Thanx, nice video. This video is the reason I purchased one of these.

[@Toerme]

Awesome technology :D Really inspiring video, and I like the fact that you talk and show us how it's working :D

[@tpvalley]

@calypso22 theres space I reckon. Still a cool model.

[@birdmankustomz666]

[@JintySteam1]

[@TheElsadogge]

Where do you get denatured alcohol?

[@Olivergoodchild2]

wow where can you get them?

[@Toerme]

Which oil can be used? Does it have to be special steam engine oil?

[@Toerme]

@calypso22 Great :) Models are enjoyable on a whole other level when they are powered the proper way instead of going for the simple and boring electric motor option.

[@faturesop]

were did u get it from

[@MudRFunR]

What a neat little toy! Better than the electric train I had as a kid!

[@sirgresley6007]

[@tpvalley]

[@calypso22]

No, that's a Märklin 4149/7 from about 1919.

[@JtagSheep]

[@andrewau1993]

[@plantaevida7469]

You can sell?!

[@mlalbaitero]

Awesome

[@JintySteam1]

are you English? and how much did you pay for that

[@dogyslime9954]

The loco looks cute

[@calypso22]

Your local hardware store should have it.

[@Nico93]

Seriusly?, live steam train in HO form?, i never thougt such a small scale for that existed.

[@calypso22]

Yes, and it beautifully made, but a bit fiddly to run.

[@Nico93]

is it expensive?,

[@calypso22]

Too small I suppose. Hornby models are much larger.

[@WorkingInSmallSteam]

If anyone is selling one or knows someone who makes ho live steam locos like these please do contact me

[@calypso22]
