Lake Goldsmith steam rally

[@michaelclark2840]

Amazing stuff. The smell of steam and oil inside the building must have been magic. "Can you just wait there a minute while I knock up a 3 cylinder radial steam engine". Very tallented you be! Perhaps you should consider hiring your skills out to some model steam clubs as I know many would just die for your cast iron casting abilities. Well done!

[@accountcontact7764]

Too cool! Could you do a video on how you made the valves for your radial steam engine @6:24 ? Appears to be some sort of linear cam operation! Thanks

[@icarus901]

Was the very first clip a car engine and transmission with modified heads and crank/timing so that it could act as a steam engine?

[@luckygen1001]

Yes it is! That steam rally has many examples like that and that is why I like to go there. If you live in Australia it is a must see steam show.

[@dougalexander7204]

It’s fascinating to think about who the people might have been that operated these machines and what was it they made. Stay awesome.

When ever I see, get around these sort of things I am really amazed mankind has gotten to the point we are at today. The Henry Ford Museum in my area has many of these sort of things but few of them are set up to run. Always wondered where the common term Steam Shovel came from and now I know, (smile).

[@luckygen1001]

I visited the Henry Ford museum in 2009 and what a great experience it was. I really liked the Edison DC generators so I made two small scale replicas of them. I would love to go back again and see it all again.

[@EmmaRitson]

Awesome. thanks for taking the time to make a video.

[@luckygen1001]

Best steam show for model engines in Australia! Have you been there?

[@EmmaRitson]

not for a very long time.

So far I've been to two steam shows. I've concluded that I can't be around them. Seeing stuff sets something off inside of me that threatens to ruin my personal savings. When I was first investigating this stuff, I was wondering why it was mostly old people interested in this hobby. At first, I presumed it was because it was a dying fancy. I don't think that anymore. It's really because you need retirement savings to be able to get into this realm. Until then; until the house is paid off, I'm probably going to need to be a little patient. Beautiful footage. It's a little different from your regular postings luckygen, but it is absolutely quite welcome here!

[@luckygen1001]

You are sooo right, anything to do with steam very deep pockets are needed. That is why I make copies of them, I could never afford to buy anything like that.

[@victoryfirst2878]

Real nice show you shown us all. Keep up the great work Sir. Peace too.

[@ChirpysTinkerings]

Great video, loved to see all of the engines and I even saw a shaper running in there too, lol. You made some really nice engines and really like the dual alternator setup that you made, thats pretty neat idea that Ive never seen. Have you ever looked over on patj's site for the plans for those engines? He has a bunch of the engines like that over there and probably actually had the blueprints from it stored away somewhere, lol.

[@luckygen1001]

I had you in mind when I made this video and thank you for watching.

[@ChirpysTinkerings]

yea, I would defenitely have loved to be there, lol. Thanks again

[@luckygen1001]

I had a look PatJs site and it was not on there. It was an Australian design and pat has only American steam engines on his site. Here is a site with a brief description www.farmcollector.com/steam-traction/smith-sawmill-engines-powered-australias-sawmills-from-20s-to-50s

[@ChirpysTinkerings]

oh, ok, I looked at the site and it doesnt really show much. It just sounds like an oversize single acting oscillating engine by that site, but i cant really see how that would be possible really.

[@neodimium]

1:09 Is that Stirling engine?

[@sharpiefarming7743]

Yes fun fact about that engine my dad build that engine with one hard. PS it’s in shed 68

[@NuttyforNissan]

That's quite a show they put on over there. Your machines should be an inspiration to us all.

[@ClaytonwFirth]

Love it. Do you have any detail about the excavator at 14:30?

[@luckygen1001]

I think it came from a cement quarry near Geelong but if you look up Steam shovel lake goldsmith there will be a lot more info on it.

[@JimmiePorterAtStuartArts]

This video had me pining for our next Florida Flywheelers show!

[@luckygen1001]

Is that show close to you? This show is a long way from where I live.

[@JimmiePorterAtStuartArts]

Yes . I live in Florida and we have a show here. A few buddies and I try to go a couple times a year. Always enjoyable.

[@JimmiePorterAtStuartArts]

Up the road from me here in Florida. A few friends and I try to make it a couple times a year. Here's a link to a video on our show...kzbin.info/www/bejne/oneqgWSblMaZnJY
