A "MINNIE" TYPE TRACTION ENGINE - PART #2

[@jacobwhittle9896]

Also the gland behind the piston is leaking slightly you can see the oil bubbling but that’s pretty standard

[@jeffholden7942]

I wish I could comprehend steam as much as Keith does is is a genius steam is a knowledge that we are loosing every year and should be exposed to kids again as toys that’s how future steam projects come to be

[@keithappleton]

Thank you for your kind comment {:-)))

[@jacobwhittle9896]

Lovely model very good engineering. Must have been a skilled engineer with a lot of patience. Them rivets would drive me insane alone. It seems the patience ran out which is a shame but I’m sure you will get it to a brilliant standard.

Hopefully - it is a nice model }:-)))

Did I see an air leak on the piston packing gland?

[@keithappleton]

Probably, please watch the rest of the series.

[@johnkey1682]

@@keithappleton I will. i wouldn't have even noticed If I wasn't an avid watcher of your videos.

[@keithappleton]

There is a tiny leak around the piston rod gland, kit probably needs tightening }:-)))

With the combination of good and bad engineering it seems like maybe 2 different people worked on this traction engine before you got it

Definitely - !
