Re: Llewellyn Loco Works #1
Easter, home away from the Plague, away from the Mad Bruce Highway, being immersed in the Red Room . The Servo Block is fitted and all 5 twitch as they should. The boiler is lowered. Final fit up before the test steam is underway.

Re: Llewellyn Loco Works #1
Mr Spectre asks with frustrated tones "where is your shovel and fire irons for the steam test ?"
"Oh we forgot about those, the lad and I will get cracking onto those after breakfast."
My Spectre sighs, walks off muttering "Nuumptys"

Re: Llewellyn Loco Works #1
The anticipation rises.... everything set for the first firing (other than the irons!) and the excellent Mintaro red poured to celebrate the occasion. What could top that?
The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?

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.
