Great video. Thanks for posting this. Have a nice day.

Narcis Mateescu Thank you, its taken a lot of time, trial and error (plus many cuts and bruises) to get it to where it is, and still lots more to do. There is plenty of stock which I can sit on at the club, and I usually use the driving trolly seen at the beginning of the video, but the club was closing and everything had been locked away, so at the end of the video I did not have access to the trolley. I will take a look. Its a very simple and effective way of powering something like this with minimal mechanical linkages and no gearbox, unlike some of the more complex machines which use a much higher level of engineering.

An outstanding piece of engineering, well done and thanks for these great videos :)

[@antonr91]

Dear Alan Thank you so much for your kind words All the best Anton

[@MrBugsier5]

looks nice! easy way to reverse it is just reverse pos and minus on the motor (being permanent magnet motors) or otherwise iff not, reverse the brush polarity.

[@michaelbenoit248]

That engine is so cool!

[@ThiagoMarquardt]

put a cheap PWM (ebay has a lot of this). Then you will have reverse, neutral and can improve torque at low speeds. I did something similar to an ebike. You can even remove the clutch. Without the cluch you can start the engine with a small battery (and remove the big manual start)

Nice👍 hand made solid working model excellent with safe operating

[@haugstule]

i would love to see an update on this awesome gas-electric loco!

[@antonr91]

Dearest haugstule I will be making an update to this video, which I intend to show some of the updates that have been completed Kind regards Anton

[@haugstule]

@@antonr91 I bow down in your dust blinded with happiness and gratitude you don't know how much this means to me looking forward for the new footage😁

[@rubenskiii]

Did you ever found the time in your full schedule to finish working on it, and do you still have it?

[@drewlawrence8259]

How far has it come since this video

[@duncanmaxwell1481]

I like it.

[@antonr91]

Thank you, there more coming where that came from, and I am hopefully investing in a nice tripod and camera, so better quality videos as well. Have you check out my channel for other engineering pieces? Anton

[@minedyourselfvlogs]

Hi Antonr91 just wondering if you could list the parts you used to build this as im looking at building one similarly Cheers, Mark

[@hoondogg66]

What kind of generator are you using? I cannot seem to find one.

[@jackminiaturetrains6627]

I also do 5 inch gauge videos and I’m doing a giveaway you may be interested mate

[@Jackdaw132]

That's at quainton, right?

[@antonr91]

+SomeGuy 1809 - well spotted....Bucks Railway Centre Quainton :)

[@NarcisMateescu]

Really nice ! I have a similar propulsion system on my garden tractor and on a platform truck, check out my channel :). I suggest you build a small cart and tow it with the locomotive, so you don't have to run alongside it or sit on top of it :).
