steaming up Jack! (and others)

Post by pauly » Wed Mar 24, 2010 4:36 pm

Allan came round with his new Regner MAX and that new Regner stationary.

the stationaries only a little thing, here it is next to a MM1
Image

and next to MAX
Image

MAX is a really good engine, the detail is fantastic for the price.
Image

Image

love how the cylinders held on.
Image

its also got 3 crossover tubes.
Image

steamin it up on a rolling road
Image

Image

Image

tried it outside, it derailed just as I took the pic
Image

Image

the wind kept blowing the burner out so back inside.
Image

Image

the rolling road has a scaled down (to 16mm) MPH speedo so you can see that its doing 7 MPH
Image

fueling up the stationary
Image

aye its a goodun!
Image

runs grand.
Image

then the Jack!
Image

Image

Image

pressure begins to build.
Image

SV
Image

Image

Image

according to the speedo shes doing over a scale 64 MPH!
Image

Image

Image

Image

shes a goodun she is. 8)

this was the frist run for all the engines (Jack, MAX and that stationary)

Aye all 3 things look good. The Max could probably do with some sort of wind sheild fabricating to stop it blowing out, ie a strip of brass to sit around the outside of the boiler a few mm out of from the burner.
