BK,s toy box...........closed.....+1 I missedGood morning all, first up I'll give you a look around my toy box.http://youtu.be/MMNPqlggVeA I'm still having troubls embedding videos. |
||||
| Sandman |
What a workshop, Bernie.
I could hide away in there for days, mate. All those machines and wee dram as well. Heaven 
(I took the liberty of embedding your video, mate.) |
||||
| BK |
Thanks Sandy, I can't work it out. | ||||
| MrMamod |
Nice workshop Bernie boy i could camp out there for a week OR maybe two  --- Now what is this embedding with a video  ..
|
||||
| BK |
I think I'll start small with my Peake #1
I gave it a bigger base, 
Joined a belt for it, 
And ended up with this. 
And away we go!! 
I ran on air for convenience http://youtu.be/ganRDixjvdI |
||||
| peol |
Wonderful place you got there, seems so relaxed. | ||||
| Les |
A place for everything and everything in its place, I would say that your workshop would be heaven to most off us.
Your video embedded. |
||||
| Sandman |
Jeez, Bernie. Watching that wheel made me feel sleepy.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ 
|
||||
| angus |
Quite some toy box you have there
|

| Swift Fox |
Your shed is an Aladdins cave Bernie and thanks for the guided tour, the Peake 1 powers that colour wheel with ease.
|
||||
| BK |
I'll stick with small at the moment, these 2 oscillators were given to me by Geoff (the very thin one), unknown brand but they both run well.
|
||||
| Sandman |
Little crackers, Bernie.
I like the one with the big flywheel. |
||||
| BK |
I'll see if this works

| Sandman |
I embedded it for you Bernie.
Are you sure you're copying the full embed code? (Great little oscillator.) |
||||
| Celsius 100 |
Quite some toy box, more like a treasure trove.A fascinating tour. | ||||
| BK |
Yar Sandy, but nothing shows up on the preview, so I don't use it, that one I chopped. Downesy will be in later, he'll sot me out.
|
||||
| Les |
A quaint little engine.
|
||||
| BK |
I don't think I'll get the Mamod prize  here's mine.
Got a TE1 and a SR1 n&b in the "to do" shelf, but that's the total. |
||||
| flywheel61 |
Still a ecclectic collection there mate, you just need a couple of flat bases, 
Cheers
Chris |

| redryder |
Bernie, you have a great toy box !
Gil |
||||
| Dean W |
Thanks for the tour, Bernie. Really enjoyed that! I'd be right at home there, and I'd love to be able
to drop by and talk shop one day. That would be a treat! That small "unknown" wobbler is a cute little guy. A lot of charm, and a great runner. |
||||
| BK |
It's about time I ran something on steam, so I'll show you my Gaselan (compound), it's a 'lecky, but does not really get hot enough to run properly.
It runs quite nicely, it just needs a little more oomph!! |
||||
| ozsteamdemon |
Nice Compound !
Waste not , want not ......... even with steam !
|
||||
| Wallace |
Nice one mate. I like the look of that gaslean 
|
||||
| BK |
It was one of the late ones Andrew, 1987. |
||||
| Les |
What an innovative way to use the waste steam.
|
||||
| BK |
This is my Weeden #34, the engine is a non reversing one that makes it pre 1920.
It is not original, I have made it up from 2 engines. 
It does have an original burner.
I still need a drain tap for it. 
It had no plumbing, so I included an oiler in the pipework, the 2 "towers" are home made too. 
I'll give it a run, but use gas because it's easier, and hotter.
|
||||
| Les |
Wow, what a treat.
|
||||
| Sandman |
Great videos and engines, Bernie.
I really enjoyed watching. |
||||
| Roly Williams |
The 34 has interesting valve gear, I've just noticed
|
||||
| Steam Models |
Oh! my my, your a bit of a comic Bernie.
That's as good as a small city, and Rum for the workers. Bernie you've got enogh equipment there to be the first man to land a Cockroach on Mars. |
||||
| magpie38 |
thanks for sharing another great table | ||||
| Celsius 100 |
The Weeden is a great runner with a lovely tick-over. | ||||
| peol |
That Weeden engine is really nice, great to see you got it running 
|
||||
| Bugsy |
Bernie, it was great to visit your shed again, it hasn't changed a bit!
Great table, mate! |
||||
| BK |
My Wilesco D 366.
I copped a lot of ribbing at stdu about having this as a "shelf queen", so this video is for Lenny, Geoff and Phil. |
||||
| Sandman |
LOL. I'm the same with my black and brass Wilesco TE Bernie.
But tomorrow it will be seen in motion for the first time.
Lovely engine mate. Love the water cart as well. |
||||
| benchmark |
I loves the tour of your shed BK. I didnt know one could get an angle grinder stand, smart contraption. Just ordered one myself. Thanks. | ||||
| steamtrack |
Great Toy Box bernie
|

| BK |
It would not seem right for me not to have something about logs or sawmills on my table.
A bit of a mock up what a mill could have looked like. 
This one is powered by a Jensen 55 and a Wilesco D455 powers the stiff leg crane. 
|
||||
| Sandman |
That saw mill is just awesome.
My fingers were itching to get in there and have a good play. Great stuff. |
||||
| Steam Models |
Great stuff Bernie.
Just love that "Gaselan" Yes a lot of the German engines are lovely and smooth, and I can well understand the heater being below par. Very nice No 34 as well. |
||||
| Burnmafingers |
Thanks for the workshop tour, the birthplace of so many great creatons.
if i had a place like that I would rarely venture out from it
|
||||
| Celsius 100 |
Your sawmill is something rather special,very imaginative. | ||||
| BK |
I better put the log truck in too.
And the jinker for long logs. 
|
||||
| Gary279 |
Boy, I wish I could come over and visit the Toy Box!
|
||||
| BK |
Just like to thank everyone for their comments.
I've had this Bolton compound (ya, this one is a compound) for some time and never steamed it. 
I think my crane should make enough steam, so I'll tap into the steam line. 
Knock up a bit of pipe to join the pair. I've left the lower engine on the crane hooked up so I can use the feedwater pump to fill the boiler. The Bolton has been fitted with a Stevensons linkage (made by Winters, I think). 
Ready to go. |
||||
| BK |
Here's a couple of my builds, Big Jim and Egor.
Egor towers over Jim!! 
And neither of them should tip over, they're both wide in the track!! And, yes I do like black and red. 
Downesy was here earlier so we did a video of Egor, that's a 5 in 1 grade he struggles over
|
||||
| peol |
Great to see Egor in action, looking strong 
|
||||
| Lenny |
Darn good show Bernie . Great vids .
|
||||
| Wallace |
Well done Bernie. I especially like that sawmill layout
|
||||
| flywheel61 |
There's some great stuff there mate, the saw mill and truck etc, is really brilliant. And Egor, what can I say - magnificent.
Cheers
Chris |
||||
| Les |
Great show Bernie, Egors wheelie was a cracker.
|
||||
| Dean W |
Great vids, Bernie! Love that big Weeden and the saw mill. And Egor. And.. you get the idea(r).
Mighty fine show you've put on for us! |
||||
| tmuir |
Egor is so cool!
Well done! |
||||
| BK |
I better show my wilescos.
The large and the small. 
24 and 20 
Another 20, a 455 and a 10 
I have never bought an accessory as such, but, these have come with various engines. 
Forgot the shaper. 
Better include the mobiles too. 
Right to left, D 430, D 366, D406, and an old D 40 
|
||||
| Albert.rivero |
Great workshop and great stuff. Brilliant, mate |
||||
| Les |
What a great set of Wilesco's. | ||||
| BK |
There's nothing working in this lot, it's some of the "to do" projects.
Back left, SR1 n&b, the front of a SW1, Weeden 903, a tubed boiler. front left, Fleischmann 120/1, D10 with throttle, TE1 |
||||
| Sandman |
Great pics Bernie.
I really will have to try to acquire a D32. I just love those big engines. |
||||
| IndianaRog |
Bernie, you always please with videos and pics of shop and engines.
Thanks for sharing. |
||||
| Celsius 100 |
A fine collection of Wilesco engines. | ||||
| BK |
I better post these 2 now as I have to visit my eye doctor shortly.
I took these on my own so please excuse the out of focus shots, also the battery went flat and I ran outa gas, so it's in 2 parts. 
|
||||
| Sandman |
That was just mesmerising Bernie.
If I had that crane in my workshop, I'd never come out.
|
||||
| Freespawn |
wow great vid love the crane
|
||||
| magpie38 |

|

| Dean W |
You really are a crane operator, Bernie. I've been waiting for this one... for months. Thanks very much! | ||||
| Gary279 |
Brilliant!!!!  
|
||||
| The Denying Dutchman |
That makes three of us.
|
||||
| BK |
You're right Sandy, I fire 'er up nearly every second day, it's a fun thing.
Just a quick thanks to everyone for their comments, I've had a great weekend, bye. |
||||
| Stoker |
You may call it the toy box Bernie, but many of us think of it as "The Magic Shop"!!! | ||||
| BK |
I forgot my Empire B31 It wont steam, the new element isn't up to the task, but it runs nice on air.
This is the last. |
||||
| xlchainsaw |
excellent bernie. ive waited all weekend to see it in action.
|
||||
| verithingeoff |
Berniemate, what can I say, that was a fantastic display, all the pics and vids were brilliant...no wonder you blew your upload allowance....big well done from me
|
||||
| Sandman |
Great to see the Empire run Bernie.
I've thoroughly enjoyed your table from start to finish. Great job.
