This channel is such a gem, I found you a couple weeks back with the real-life history video and am going through the other videos now. Very cool work, appreciate the content.

Big fan of the gas turbines!

addictive hobby

[@MrRailroadrunner]

How are you planning to spring your trucks such that they can flex? If you're running 3 axles, the middle wheel should float to accommodate for undulations in the track. On the real turbines, the two bottom plates running between your bearings were separate pieces and sprung from there. This helped distribute the weight equally. You may know this already, but I'm not quite seeing how that will work. That being said, this thing is looking sweet.

Might make my ho scale ones look a little sad. Brilliant project.

[@EverythingAnthonySOS]

M and Rc thankyou for the encouragement, does your model have a sound card ..?

[@mandrc5562]

@@EverythingAnthonySOS yes two of the three have so far. Just veranda, coal and steam turbines to complete the set.

[@JetA1Terminator]

Awsome work mate 👍

[@EverythingAnthonySOS]

Thanks for your help mate ,

[@sprongll]

Absolutely loving this build! Can't wait to see the next instalment! While I'm sad you're not going with the home-brew jet, I totally understand going with the pre-made unit, looks like it was a good score!

[@EverythingAnthonySOS]

I have future plans for the home-brew jet

[@sprongll]

@@EverythingAnthonySOS heck yeah! I can't wait!

[@alexsrailway5420]

are you using the gas turbine to drive an old turbo to act as your generator? if so you'll need a system for lubricating the turbo shaft with engine oil. a basic pump,resivour and piping (all need to be able to handle atleast 100c) should do the trick

[@EverythingAnthonySOS]

Hello Alex , this will be covered in the next video I do on the build, thankyou for taking the time to comment

[@denisovanhybrid9610]

@@EverythingAnthonySOS looking forward to your update; which State are you in ?

[@jeffbutler6100]

Do you have any idea of what the total weight will be for the B unit after all the construction is finished?

[@EverythingAnthonySOS]

Hi Jeff , I have no idea what the total weight will be , it's adding up fast !

[@jeffbutler6100]

I just wondered if you might need some sort of hoist to move it off the building area to the floor. Also loading and unloading it into a vehicle

[@EverythingAnthonySOS]

@@jeffbutler6100 after it has been pulled apart for paint I will make new stands the same height as the trailer bed

[@jeffbutler6100]

I see. Just like the guys that have large live steam locomotives.
