Latimer L4 & Accessories

Here is my first firing of the Latimer Plane L4:



Here it is powering my Fleischmann blacksmith.

The engine is very weak, and this is the fastest it could power the accessory (at full steam).

Great videos Nick. I really thought it would have had more power  

Still a great engine to have

Good videos', and maybe you have the belt too tight.

The accessories look good running slow too. Maybe as his Girthy Arms strengthen it will speed up

at last a realistic speed for a accessory.

No, just a very weak engine.

I did like watching it at the slow speed, but it was only able to power the blacksmith for a couple of minutes.

I decided to have another run with the L4. This time I hooked it up to my Marklin windmill which spins easily.

In the video, it looks like the windmill is stopping and reversing, but during the run, it was actually running at full speed.

Here's a still shot of the run, followed by a short video:

That Marklin fan is an impressive piece unto itself, love the solid look!
