old land rover and a steam engine your living the dream

[@kalebriley9349]

I'm going to buy one of these engines so it's great to see one up steam

[@flippop101]

That is a superb example. An absolute beauty! The timing seems to be as near to perfect as can be achieved, and one of your sons is a Liverpool supporter. What more can a man wish for?

[@gerrystepney8805]

Love the first whistle! Great job Simon

[@flippop101]

What a beautiful machine!

Congratulations Simon!

[@MrStationHouse]

Thankyou it's been throughly enjoyable

[@garyruxton5226]

I see you have an emergency alternate form of transportation motorcycle😂 Why the burning fireblock in the smokebox?

[@ThePeachJames]

Good Job, Simon.

[@willsalmon6115]

Why the firelighter in the smokebox at the beginning??

[@MrStationHouse]

It helps draw the fire by creating an updraft

[@01driver]

Lovely video no need for an electric fan & all that noise just a chimney extension & patience.. Why rush the fire..

Matt Seymour not too bad just take it slow

That whistle sounds like the sound from the most excruciating sound other than that I love it!!

[@MrStationHouse]

Yes I agree, have a nice new chime whistle now!

Sad to see people have now reverted to kits instead of building their own.

By lighting the fire up in the in the air and then moving the shovel towards the hole, you increased the risk of the young man burning his arm. A good of friend of mine has seen many incident occur due to this. Ideally you want to light it with long matches near the door so there is less movement, even if it is a miniature

[@STEEVB51]

who told you a fire lighter in the smokebox is the way to go ???

[@MrStationHouse]

One of the other STW owners, I have stopped doing it now as a longer tube seems to do the trick

[@STEEVB51]

much better idea mate - and nice engine too

[@amanofmanyparts9120]

@@MrStationHouse imho a 12-24 volt fan on top of the smoke stack will produce a better draught. It seems more and more miniature steam enthusiasts are going down the route these days. I've seen many struggle to raise a good fire with just an extension.
