Wild Rose ~ Quarry Hunslet
Re: Wild Rose ~ Quarry Hunslet
I think you've cracked it there, Dave. Sounds really good with that slightly breatheless effect. Well done.

Re: Wild Rose ~ Quarry Hunslet
Good work on the Goodall valve and the Whistle. More noise from less steam seems counter-intuitive clever of you to work that out.

Bang on Dave, I like how the whistle sound gradually changes when the condensate clears.

Re: Wild Rose ~ Quarry Hunslet
Thank you, lads.
A rolling road will be needed for the next round of testing. It was very pleasing, I had all the materials in stock. This spacing suits nearly all of my locos except the first one, and it fouls the meths tank a bit. I'm thinking of adding an extra set of holes for closer spacing for that loco.

Had a very nice test of Loco #1 on the rolling road today. It's been a while since this loco last ran

Love it Dave.
Could your whistle valve be connected to a servo?

Re: Wild Rose ~ Quarry Hunslet
It looks to me that the couplings rods are in sync with the cylinders sugesting you have not geared down from the oscilator. I have a binnie motor intended for a tram which came with a step down gear which was recommended for slow running. Yours seem to run nice an slow.

Re: Wild Rose ~ Quarry Hunslet
Thanks, lads!

Re: Wild Rose ~ Quarry Hunslet
Wow Dave, now that is a mightily impressive De Winton. The slow running is really smooth and the whistle is the best I have heard by far.
How long will he run for at that sort of speed...
