Hi All , This is my first ever vid using my still camera for video , using a tripod .
At the last minute i decided i would like to rotate my engine for
filming , so back into the workshop to make a lazy susan , it took about an hour to make and it works a treat

I quickly cobbled together my Wilesco D22 and accessories for a demo .
I`m sure the 22 has the grunt to run a bigger pulley for the streetlamp , so i`ll make a bigger pulley for next time .

Very nice! I've got the D22 and the planes, never rigged them up though!

That's impressive. There's obviously plenty of power there! I like the wooden clips to hold everything down, and the lazy susan is a great idea.

........ and now meet the Jensens .

The Model 20-G , i converted from 110V to 220V . because in oz we have a 240V supply , she steams a bit hotter by the extra 20V .
She steams a treat and is a real goer with plenty of Grunt !
The Model 65 had a fractured steampipe when i got it , so i replaced it with copper tube and added a rough homemade oiler and kept it as i got it cos i use her quite a bit , she`s a real workhorse and drives the Model 100 Workshop with ease .

Awaiting Workshop activity .
The TE1a is needing a scuttle , burner , drive belt and tyres .
The Weeden is in need of a full restoration .
And the Atomic Reator needs a new boiler , which i will make from copper and have Nickel Plated . ( the original boiler was made from Tinplate ) How dumb is that ! ?
I have run the Reactor on air , with a fresh D Cell and the engine runs well and the flashing light rocker mechanism works well also , and the red lights flash like in the cartoons .

When the Wilesco took off I didn't recall hearing the instructions to put our trays up and fasten our seatbeats

Nice selection of Wilescos--Have you ever run the firetruck?

My first steaming of my S.T D-10
Yesterday i spent most of the day in the workshop re-assembling my babcock 501 boiler after fitting new insulation material to the firebox .
I also made fittings for the feedwater tank , so it was a fun day .
Some time in the future , the D-10 will be stripped down for a paintjob in S.T. heritage colours , new gaskets and the addition of the engine driven feedwater pump and reversing gear .
