STEPHENSON'S LINK VALVE TIMING ON A SMALL STEAM LOCOMOTIVE - PART #1

[@steamboatmodel]

Watching Locomotive valve gear convinces me eve more that i made the right decision to stay with marine equipment.

Love watching your videos, very informative! Stay well! Having a video to see how to properly time Stephensons valve gear would be a big help from you! I currently own a 7.5” gauge live steam mogul that was bought a month ago and it’s timing doesn’t sound quite right. Not quite as experienced as you but at 22 years young I’m trying! :)

First, I hope you are getting better regarding your health. I have only recently become interested in steam engines and have already learned a lot from your channel. The models are amazing and really beautiful to watch. I hope to build a simple steam engine someday. Stay well mate and all the best. 👌👍👍

Thank You, I am about to have another Prostate Biopsy, but the good news is that the MRI scan shows no difference in the Prostate area from the one I had a year ago ......

@@keithappleton Well that is some good news. Getting older can be a pain in you know what. I had a mild stroke last year and it has comprised my left side a little but I am lucky because I can still play my guitar and that means a lot to me. I sincerely hope all will be well with you in the long term. You sound like a man with a good sense of humor and that is a blessing mate. Nothing in this world is worth worrying about. Keep well, mate, and keep showing us those wonderful steam engines.👌👍

Thank you, I fully agree with your last line - you are a wise man }:-)))

I'd love to come and meet you Keith. Got a 3 1/2 doris could do with your input

I've seen Stephenson's valve gear on a 4 cylinder Gauge-1 (1/32) locomotive and it looks like a mechanical watch there's so many parts inside.

Good vid

Padded rooms or cells are comfy. But the food is awful.

My Late Grandmother was a Psychiatric nurse in the early part of the 20th Century (pre World War One) and she had some very interesting stories regarding Padded Cells and general Psychiatric care from that time . . . . . . her illustrated medical books from the time were quite scary {:-)))
