As a member of the Oil Often & Plenty Brigade I must remind you to flood all moving parts with lubricating oil before and after (and if you're feeling daring, during) every run. Preserves the metal, slows wear, makes her go smoother. She is a beautiful engine and you've done an excellent job on her construction - the paintwork and nameplate finish her off perfectly!

You have a better air compressor already. Any car engine that has direct cylinder fuel injection with do. Block the fuel injector to one cylinder. Take the spark plug out to the same cylinder. Put a hose to the spark plug opening. Start pumping high pressure air. Engine will run ruff but it will pump air.

Fireless Locomotives such as the one Tim built (Compressed Air locos fall under Fireless Locomotives Im pretty sure) were and still are used in high fire risk enviroments such as Gunpowder Works, or other places where fire could cause issues. And would be refilled from little refill stations along the line. I dont think long journey Fireless locomotives were ever used but if they were i would assume it would be like Water Towers in years long forgotten, Every Stop/Loading area would have a Steam Engine/Compressor ready to refill the locomotive. So i think for Tim i think either a Mobile Compressor (In a Boxcar, Tender, or Brakevan with a Generator) or a Conventional propulsion locomotive would work better then a Fireless one for longer journeys. Either that or he would have to buy multiple compressors to position at each station along the line to refill Tornado. A Mobile Compressor car could also mean he could make more Compressed air locomotives & other equipment that requires power (Automatic Shaker for the Ballast Layer for example) It also Depends on the Railroads size, if its small enough that he can return to the Workshop to refill he should be ok. But if its going out a lot more then not really. But Honestly, Im just a Youth from the US, so what do i know lol. Either way he has done exeptionaly well, Good job Tim :)

@@epicstormchaserswf I don’t know how long is considered long, but tenders with additional air cylinders were common as heck for compressed air locomotives. Though the main issue here is that the 3000psi welding tank is only being filled to 100psi. Assuming the same working pressure for the engine throughout, seems like 30x more runtime would be the result. Of course, reality being what it is, the actual result will be much less, but that’s fine. Now imagine all that extra pressure plus the locomotive was double expansion and double acting!

A suggestion would be to have the spring keep the brake against the wheel (and resting your foot on the lever releases it). A coupler at the other end might be helpful too. Could the cylinder be refilled with steam? David
@laurensvisser7623
@laurensvisser7623 2 жыл бұрын
In theory, you could fill the cylinder with steam. However, it opens up a world of problems that are hard to solve on a DIY engine. One of the biggest things is that you will have to thermally isolate the tank extremely well, otherwise the steam will just turn to water in half an hour or so. Increasing air pressure with a dive tank compressor seems to be the most obvious improvement, as well as having some gentle heating of the tank to counter the cooling effect of the expanding air. The self cooling effect lowers the air pressure which is not a good thing in this case.

This is really impressive and amazing! Well done! If you were to find a way to fill the tank near full capacity, I wonder if you could put a pressure regulator on the tank's output and use the dial as your throttle. Then you wouldn't have to keep the throttle nearly shut at the beginning and continue opening it as the pressure falls, it would chug along at the same speed you set it at the whole time! Just a thought. Very well done as usual! The paint job is beautiful.

You definitely need a pressure regulator when that bottle has over 200 bar of pressure in it. You wouldn't be able to open the small valve by hand otherwise. Also accidents happen and if the valve were to fully open at full pressure, a lot of hoses would go boom and those can give you a nasty slap in the face.

A paintball compressor would be better. They get up to the same pressures but are not so finnicky with the air they put in the tank. Diving compressors are magnitudes more expensive because they have to treat and filter the air they put in the bottle because humans have to breathe it. In this case a paintball compressor would be perfect as it doesn't matter if the air in the tank isn't breathable.

This is awesome. I would suggest adding a chain between the axles, you would get 4x4 traction and braking at the same time...

I would get one now, but waiting for 1685 model in 4 wheel drive. Cup holder extra! (Pricing; If 200 pints=2 WD, Is the 4 WD model 400 pints? 50 pints extra for padded seat. That would be Model T-1, T-2 and T-2P. Right?) Note; Some Assembly Required, Compressed Air & Flywheel Not Included. Cup Holder On Back Order Due To Materials Shortage, Track Not Included! Hey, some things you build on your own.

Excellent well done would there be any advantage in changing the gearing to generate more torque at the wheel
@cooperised
@cooperised 2 жыл бұрын
My guess would be not a lot - it's 2 wheel drive so tractive effort is limited by grip. You'd also be trading speed for torque and there isn't much speed to trade!

I gotta say. I love the design of this engine. It reminds me of the earlier steam locomotives of the 1800s. Even sounds like one too. Looking forward to seeing how this railway progresses!

Agreed. Looks like something Trevithick would have built for a Cornish mining company in the early 1810s.

Never have I been so happy to see a project completed! Wonderful stuff - Trevithick would be proud! I just think that the parking brake needs to be self-acting - maybe link it to the seat, so it releases when you sit down? - because I think the reverse lever provides enough normal braking. Need more power!

If you can find an old refrigeration compressor, you could jump it to 300 to 400 psi, if your air lines will take it. Some are small and slow, but the larger semi-hermetic ones will move some air. Really a great job. I suppose y0u could run a motor and use the cylinders to charge the tank also. Looks like a lot of fun. Smiles

Fantastic, especially considering how under charged the tank is. Excited to see it running at full power. It's also pleasant to watch it run through the field where you can barely see the tracks.

fantastic!!!! Cant help but think of Trevithick' Penydarren locomotive built in 1804 everytime I see you locomotive. The number on the flywheel is a pattern/part/casting number not a date, but is easy over 100 years old, companies like Betinels made those chaff cutters from the late 1800s up until WW2. If you find you need to increase your grip/traction for either braking or hauling, you can always connect the two axles with a chain and sprockets. Keep up the good work.

I love your version of Tornado as well as the railway! One thing though - consider adding a connection point on the front as well as the rear, so you can pull as well as push wagons from either end of the the loco around on your railway. That was you don't have to worry about which way 'Tornado' is facing.

It looks like double acting rams you have there. For double the power you could use the other side of the ram too, although it would need more air.

You might rough up the steel on the wheels a bit to improve traction. Model railroad engines have ridges cast into the wheels to get traction, and I believe the full size ones do to.
