It is awesome that you got a restoration sponsor. I want to thank that company from my heart. ❤️

Love how the Scrapyard 48 just has (or had) "Rust" instead of a Ruston nameplate. And of course you got your sponsor to make you a lightsaber.

I love this new format, jumping between all the locos. Excited as always to see progress on the fleet!

@BrooksMoses 4 ай бұрын

I like it too. It's like "What's Broken Now?" except they're mostly not broken and even the totally knackered one is getting de-knackered.

@callsignapollo_ 4 ай бұрын

I think itll be a good way to get more progress updates, rather than having to wait who knows how lomg until one loco had had enough work done to make a full vid, incremental steps on multiple locos could help maintain a more consistent update schedule to make the algo happy

Excellent ! And well done to Black Stag Engineering for supporting you guys! They must be a great bunch of people. What livery do you think you will paint the Ruston in ?

Love the exhaust sound on the hunslet! Though I must say it's horn does sound a bit like a distressed goose...

This series on the Rustons is awesome, but I've nearly finished watching them all and would love to see a lot more (hint, hint).

@patrickwebb7311 4 ай бұрын

I like the new intro, and how it highlights each loco. Hopefully we will see all three in service together in the future. Ps. If you’re interested in name suggestions for 303, may I suggest Defiance, given how defiant some of the parts are and the team not giving up on its restoration? Looking forward to the next episode.

Slowly, Slowly, and it gets done eventually. I would love to get my hands dirty on all three locos, alas distance excludes that; at least I've seen all three of them now and appreciate the work that's been done so far; a lot don't! I know how hard it is from work I did on vintage Trams and Buses in Birkenhead. Keep up the good work, and keep up the videos!

I believe the phrase you're looking for is "percussive maintenance". Trains can't run without it.

@callumhudson802 4 ай бұрын

Like the intro

@Consequator 4 ай бұрын

That engine needs a bath in solvent and then a long soak in oil lol Also it's not violence, it's using a 'Linear impact driver for percussive maintenance' Nice video as always.

Daft question probably, but is locomotive diesel the same as red diesel used on farms etc? ie regular vehicle diesel dyed red? Or is it something completely different?

@lmm 3 ай бұрын

Yep, just diesel

@TechJoe1994 18 күн бұрын

Blimey 6975 needs some tlc. Have to say after the old class 45 and 55. Dinky diesels are my next favourites. Just love watching them potter about shunting wagons around. I'd love to do something like that if I was able. Doubt I could climb into one nowadays. It's one thing if I ever won the lottery that I'd want a couple of diesels. And then a narrow gauge railway version to just drive about in. Jeez and the Ruston needs some care too. Looks abandoned till you see it roll

That Hunslet at The Colne Valley has a great exhaust bark when it throttles up. The Ruston's tend to have a quieter smoother sound.

@mattblack6414 Ай бұрын

Question for the clever railway folks... why did diesel shunters continue using coupling rods? Is it simply a case of the easiest way of transmitting power from one driven pair of wheels, or is there a more technical reason?

Hi Lawrie, are the head gaskets copper? If Black Stag engineering do laser cutting it might be cheaper for them to cut out new gaskets from copper sheet.

@lmm 4 ай бұрын

They are copper with heritage insulation material

@MostlyInteresting 4 ай бұрын

Put some Evaprorust in there, not diesel, and take a week off and let it work. :)

@BrooksMoses 4 ай бұрын

The problem with that is that where the surface of the Evaporust touches the steel, you get a reaction where the oxygen from the air rusts the steel and the Evaporust dissolves the newly-created rust, and it will eat a groove into the metal. Not what you want in a cylinder wall. (That's why when you're using it, you want to make sure everything you're de-rusting is fully submerged.)

Seized valves, that will require removal of the cylinder heads, which as far as I'm predicting still heralds a _full engine teardown,_ especially given the loco's age and condition... ...and with at least one failed head gasket and how that piston looked... ...probably need a full gearbox transmission removal and teardown too... ...at least the journals were good!
