Way too much FUN !! Another great video ! Thanks Terry !

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

@@sidselver9072 lol. Thanks Sid! Yes. Awesome fun. You’re not to far I think. You should visit sometime.

[@TwistedMacGyversTrains]

What a fantastic gift Terry! It’s a beautiful looking locomotive and a great runner! 👍😊

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

@@TwistedMacGyversTrains thanks! It’s awesome. 👏 I look forward to one day running it outdoors.

[@davidwhite1864]

I think shes fantastic. These old classic engines take skill and knowhow to run so well done to get running so great. Love it and if I may can I also thank John G.😊

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

Indeed. Thank John. Yes, she’s a gem. A tricky little beastie. But I love it!! ☺️

[@ThatBIGTRAINGuy]

What a lovely and smart locomotive. Seems to be a pretty solid runner 👍 Very nice!

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

@@ThatBIGTRAINGuy there is no real speed control. But it does run solid. It is not something for shunting. But one day when I get set up again outdoors it will be fun to watch stretch its legs, especially if it is cold and damp.

[@ThatBIGTRAINGuy]

@@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks ​When it's colder, steam is better. My favorite time to run real trains is when it's cooler and very fine drizzle of rain. 🥰

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

@@ThatBIGTRAINGuy me too. ☺️

[@johnlazar7582]

I really did enjoy this video Terry! Your knowledge of those little live steamers is encyclopedic. I always learn something new from you. That's a great little steamer! You have amassed quite a collection of them.😊

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

@@johnlazar7582 Thanks John. ☺️ Your words mean a lot to me.

[@watchfordpilot]

Super and plucky little loco that runs so well. I’m sure it will provide you with lots on entertainment 😃👍

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

@@watchfordpilot it is plucky Steve. I can’t wait to have track outdoors again to run it there.

[@chicagolandrailroader]

That is a very good looking locomotive. Great color, too. Maybe the steam will make your cold feel better 😂

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

@@chicagolandrailroader hahaha. The steam would make my cold feel better except the acrid smell of burning meths didn’t help. 😝

[@MattKonsol]

That is a awesome o gauge live steam engine you have! Btw I hope you feel better!

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

@@MattKonsol thanks Matt. ☺️ I think I’ll be a little better tomorrow.

[@robertwilkinson5632]

I like your style and the manner of your investigation. I've had one for some years. It is a powerful beast. I've machined the wheels to a parallel tread to increase the flange depth which gives me reliability on my C/scale trackwork. I use 460 grade oil and less water just 30-33ml. It makes it easier to start without priming. You have a silver soldered boiler so running it dry isn't a problem! For better running control try reducing your wick height. My jinty stands in for a B/Lowke Enterprise with 5 tinplate bogies on 3' curves.hope this helps,Enjoy Bob W

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

Hi Robert. Thanks for the kind words. ☺️ The next time I run it I’ll try less water and wick height as you suggested. I may change the wheels on my old tinplate Hornby to allow it to run on this tack. The Lionel stuff is heavy with the thick plastic and heavy die cast trucks, etc.

[@crosbytrains]

It’s a beautiful locomotive And I’m sick to

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

@@crosbytrains thanks Crosby. I’m sorry you are sick too.

[@associatedblacksheepandmisfits]

Very informative Mr T. Goes like a train 😂😂

[@davidwhite1864]

🤣🤣

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

@@associatedblacksheepandmisfits hahaha! I’m glad it does’t go like a plane.

[@chriswilliams7480]

First time that I have heard about them. Live n Wales UK

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

@@chriswilliams7480 indeed Chris. Another comment said they have one but they are rare.

[@laaity]

What an excellent video Mr Rowsell And what an excellent little steam locomotive I saw one for sale awhile ago in south africa Shockingly Sad that there's no whistle :( Idk why im so obsessed with whistles

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

@@laaity hahahaha. Yes. You do love your whistles. Interesting there was one for sale in SA. Two people from the UK have indicated how rare they are.

[@laaity]

@@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks i should add it wasn't assembled The running frane was there with the boiler and side tanks off But 100% was that locomotive I honestly should've bought it

[@robertcomerford375]

They are quite good for what they are. There was another similar one made by another firm too (Rochdale?). A few are to be seen here in Oz, plenty in the UK. but not for sale as being used by their owners. Mine likes to run fast so is regulated by the load behind it. Others tell me theirs are similar. Best run indoors given the pot boiler, but mine has performed OK with a light breeze outdoors. Never heard of one with an oscillator. There may be some home made using an oscillator, maybe the Bibby/Henshaw design. I know one owner who may have had the original instruction sheet mentioned 33ml to fill the boiler but he preferred 31ml. Maybe to reduce priming. cheers Bob

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

@@robertcomerford375 thanks for the info Bob. I wonder whether the few I have heard of with oscillating cylinders were later repairs/cylinder replacements. Yeah, I think 33 ml is more reasonable. I will be trying it outdoors at some point and will be sure to report out on it. Winter is around the corner so it may be in the spring.

[@chriswilliams7480]

A pleasant way to pass away some time. Get better soon

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

Thanks Chris. I think I may feel a bit better tomorrow.

[@timothyboles6457]

Interesting little loco, and yeah, those are shallow flanges, even for O gauge. Interesting thing, At the steamup, the Aster guys were promoting stainless steel mesh as wick material for alcohol locos. I don't know much about alcohol locomotives, other that they smell funny

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

@@timothyboles6457 i have had very good results with stainless steel wool as wick material for meths.

[@huntercoleman460]

Looks just like Oliver Terry.

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

@@huntercoleman460 kinda yes. ☺️

[@vatonix84]

I have one of these, mine was split mint in box but i've run it plenty, they are NOT common in the UK pretty rare now not many i've seen for sale. There's a really crazy one I saw ages ago which had a n oscillating cylinder and was mounted differently. Some advice, lubricate everything extremely well, spare parts are not available so you should preserve the parts as best you can!

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

@@vatonix84 thanks! I’d keep it well oiled. I do worry about a lack of spares. Oscillating cylinder? Maybe someone’s lack of spares fix?
