Nice Dazza.
Can we have a top view video of it. It looks like it could pull anything. Such much power me thinks.

Re: Llewellyn Loco Works #1
We will get some video when I do some more test runs after sorting some things and also when some better coal arrives. I was too busy getting a few laps done to do any videos. MAM took a few but I only got about 6 laps in. The Gunnadah coal is brilliant in the full size locos but the little fire box does not get hot enough or enough volume to burn this coal due to it being very high in volatiles. I have some Welsh beans coming and also some Briquet stuff from Victoria. The reversing servo failed all else went fine and the whistle is in fine fettle. I think I will scrap the water pump as it not required and seeing how the Riverdale locos run I am convinced. But I was following the book before I knew better. The boiler steams like a witch on amphetamines which is a problem with the type of coal I was using. The Slomo set up in the tender with the zero back lash coupling was super. I have not worked on the loco since the test run , I needed a rest and work is heavy at the moment and I just had a weekend on full size steam. More is to come.

You're lucky to find supplies of good Welsh steam coal ...

Re: Llewellyn Loco Works #1
I obtained 3kg from a source in Australia for my own selfish use. ( I can also get some Blair Athol which I am told is good for garden steamers)ge_rik wrote: ↑Mon Apr 25, 2022 8:10 am You're lucky to find supplies of good Welsh steam coal ...

I am well aware of the silliness of using a greater amount of fossil fuels to import fossil fuels from an overseas source.
When one considers Australia exports 219 million tons of coal each year, whiskey Tango Foxtrot would closing one puny coal mine in Wales achieve ?
We have many massive coal trains going daily to the ports each with 8,500 tons of fossilised sunlight.
Mainstream coal needs to end but it will not and that means this rock we sit on is never going back to what it was. Too many humans upon this rock.
As a consumer of products I am complicit in this mess.
Nothing will change till the pain of not changing is recognised as being greater than the pain of change. Then it will be too late, and the argument can be made now that it is already too late to turn it all around, it is just too inconvenient for us all at this time.
The UK could get very good steaming coal from Australia if they got over the "Colonials" thought pattern and the flogging of the recent Ashes.

Re: Llewellyn Loco Works #1
I honestly don't think that the amount of fossil fuels you are likely to burn in your marvellous new creation is going to contribute an enormous amount to CO2 emissions.
Besides, a 10 minute cycle ride will more than offset its carbon footprint
