Steaming A 4" Foster Traction Engine

[@Clackvalve2]

What a great video, thank you for making this, I know I'm seven years too late but it is of great use to me. I'm sure there are others like me too, who are building a traction engine (In my case it is a 3 inch Allchin) I have no experience whatsoever in firing up and how to use it. Making the fire was extremely interesting for me.

thank you for sharing this ....watchin it fire gave me a rare anxiety... here in my town we have an old 18 century railway line from times of british rule.its just 2" gauge . i tried makin a railcart n i did..but i just powerd from small generator.. but this thing is a great idea... thanks again regards from India

Lovely steamer! Runs well and lovely chuff sounds!, always amazes me how they run on such low PSI when not even at working pressure

Thank you for the subscription john and we never built the engine but it's always been something I would like to do but we put a new boiler and firebox on her in 2012 so we have done a bit of work on her kind regards Tom.

Примерно 200 лет назад люди убедились в том , что использование давления пара решает все проблемы с энергетикой. А 200 лет назад не было ни станков, ни эл.сварки, ни подшипников качения, ни масел и много чего. Даже компьютеров не было. И тем не менее паровики неплохо работали. В наше время для глуши востребованы паровики 2-10 квт. Которые при массовом производстве будут дешевле ДВС. Но...нефтяникам и электросбытчикам это невыгодно, а у министров другие заботы. Следовательно, спасение утопающих -дело рук самих утопающих. Удачи утопающим!

@@A4pacific3626 There was times when they had a big steam engine each side of a field with a very large drum of wire cable underneath the boiler area. A plough, large and duplicated so that it would plough both directions, connected in the centre. This was pulled in one direction, flipped over and pulled back the opposite direction. Very efficient in its day, large ploughs and virtually no wheel marks like todays giant machines leave. Some were coal fired but a few had paraffin fired boilers.KERROSINE .?.
