Model Steam Locomotive Building (Steam Chests) - Dyak pt 15.

This is Steamworx, a Model Engineering channel. Building Dyak continued...
Yet another casting to have a go at, the steam chests are the second part of the cylinder set to be made, making use of both the lathe and the milling machine.
Building this model steam engine in 2 1/2 inch gauge, Dyak (an LBSC design) continues with making the steam chests. These also start life as gunmetal (red brass) castings but again they could be made from stock. There are a few things that can go wrong with these, indeed a couple do. It will be interesting to see how many of you spot the errors that creep into this machining sequence.
As always there is nothing to hide here, mistakes and all, a slightly shorter video but plenty in there all the same!
I hope you approve!
Please comment and subscribe, let me know what you think or would like to see!
Enjoy!

Successfully fixing a mistake can sometimes be one of the most satisfying parts of a project.

[@steamworx]

@@robertpearson8798 Yes indeed, I prefer not to make them but no point in hiding them! Thanks for the comments!

[@chrisburton9645]

Extra interest as we watch you make tools too . . . Great Vids.

[@steamworx]

I hope to make things interesting. Thanks for the comment!

[@allanrichards3752]

At least you are honest about errors but as you did most errors can be sorted. Its looking good and I am sure will end up a fine model.

[@steamworx]

@@allanrichards3752 Thank you! I am certainly not perfect, hopefully something can be learned from the mistakes made. Thanks again for your kind comments.

Very enjoyable video! Love the finsish of the material!

[@steamworx]

@@molluscgaming Thank you, it’s nice stuff to machine!

Thank you very much!

What part of the world are you in?

[@johnturvey3654]

Tim could you please tell me what blueprints you are using. Cheers John

[@steamworx]

@@johnturvey3654 Lovely part of the world. I was lucky enough to have been to Melbourne and Sydney for work. Made some good friends and visited the Hunter valley, Blue Mountains and a few other places! There are some excellent ME societies on Oz!!

[@steamworx]

@@johnturvey3654 I am following the original articles from the Model Engineer magazine. Drawings are still available from the 2 1/2” gauge society. The web site address is in the description for each video if needed.

I just recently discovered your channel and appreciate the lack of annoying intro, background music and unnecessary chatter.

[@steamworx]

@@robertpearson8798 I am so glad you approve! I am of the same mind and strive to put things aright!

Hi TIM I added a comment this morning but it seems to have disappeared....

[@steamworx]

@@OL6162. Oh that’s disappointing, nothing appeared and I always answer. Please try again as this one came through.

[@OL6162.]

@@steamworx TIM i subscribed your channel a while ago and i enjoy it. Even i do not comment i always give a thumb up. I am myself building a vulcan beam engine from scratch. I made the wooden patterns cast the brass parts and i am actually machining them. machining vids will be uploaded later on. You can have a glance on OL6162 to have an idea. Keep up the good job.

That’s excellent, great vids too! Keep up the good work!!
