STEAM WORKSHOP - REPAIRING A REGULATOR - PART #2

[@randynovick7972]

Well, at times like the one that concludes this episode, my own approach is to take productive credit for discovering yet another path to failure. Eventually, after you find enough of them and correct as you go, things start to work and success is easier to see. Thanks for this great Steam Workshop update, Keith.

Thanks for the mention Kieth :)

[@keithappleton]

No Problem Billy, you deserve a mention - that's the least I can do }:-)))

Everone has days like this. No matter how hard you try, things just don't work out.

[@rickvanlandingham2874]

I don't know if you can get it where you're at. But I'm an industrial coatings painter. Sherwinn Williams P60G2 wash primer will stick to bronze, brass, aluminum, steel, plastic, even glass.

Kieth, on ebay they a "handle" that you put your allen wrenches into and it works the same as the one you used in the video. BUT your allen wrench must must have a long end.

[@jacobyoung8299]

Hey Keith I like your videos and would like to learn more about miniature steam locomotives but some terminology I don't understand like what does a clack valve do and how it works and how the regulator works and what a wet header is, could you kinda describe in a little bit more detail in future videos

[@keithappleton]

I explained clack valves a few times in my videos, maybe you should watch some more of them {:-))) . . . . In the meantime, why not just Google these terms ??? - for instance, try typing "what is a clack valve" into the Google search engine.

[@tylersshop41]

try etching the brass with vinegar. The paint sticks better to the brass with a rough finish. I've never had a problem with the paint flaking off.

[@nakkimonssi9762]

do you have model ic Engines?

[@keithappleton]

Only a modest collection that I have bought over the years . . . .

[@steveallen8987]

Love the videos. Would like to see some traction engines covered if there are any down at the workshop. A while ago you mentioned a combined silver solder and flux paste, but I can’t find that video. If the name springs to mind I would appreciate it if you replied. Thanks. Steve

[@keithappleton]

Please watch the "Steam Workshop" videos - I am currently working on a Garrett Traction engine.

[@martinbell3302]

Southern Region' 'malachite green' ?

[@keithappleton]

Perhaps it is ......

[@kerrygleeson4409]

🇦🇺. Thanks for sharing

[@jacilynns6330]

Stupid question why not plug up lines going to cylinders to test boiler?

[@wi11y1960]

What became of the BigBoy?

[@keithappleton]

it's still there in the outer part of The Steam Workshop . . .

[@phoenixrising4573]

Keith Appleton they could ship it here and I'll keep it safe for them ;-)

[@davidcoghill8612]

Can you please make a video showing the proper technique for mopping up water from under boilers?

[@welshpete12]

troll !

Which part was the girlfriend joke; "Sort of OK" or "Tightens up perfectly..."? Also we used to call the small L-shaped allen wrenches "purgatory wrenches" back in the day. The idea being that in purgatory you'd have all the time in the world to get the job done, and there is a cleansing aspect to working with something so infuriating without tossing it at the nearest flat surface. I highly recommend a set of T-handles. They may take up more space, but they're so much easier to work with. Reminds me of a girlfriend I once had...

[@brando6BL]

I had a similar problem to the open blow-down valve and the workshop floor except, in my case, it involved a bottle of oil and a missing sump-nut along with a purple shag-pile carpet and a girl friend. Add in a totally restored motorcycle and set all the pieces in a living room in a 2 up, 2 down in Holmfirth and see if you can decide whether my girlfriend could,er, see the funny side of things?

[@mamodsteamreturns5492]

love the girl friend jokes hehehe

[@robinturner2300]

Keith, do you often have an accident and leave a puddle on the floor... ( insert girlfriend joke here )
