Express 3D Steam Loco from 1890s

[Aldeb]

A view of the braking system.

I downloaded plans of this steel monster maby in the future build the paper model of this
And besides when you find time to complete your models. Your work gives me the motivation I'd hurried with my loko

[Aldeb]

That's great. Here is the allan valve gear driving everything, complete with the 90 degree tilt between the two sides

[Aldeb]

Attached the two walkways around the boiler and frame.

[Aldeb]

Progress at this point.

[Aldeb]

Continuing with the boiler fittings and such. From front to back - smokestack / steam dome / sand dome



You can see the sand pipes in this image going down the wheels.


And we also have the reverser wheel, controlling the actual direction. this is, of course, attached to the valve gear.






Oh and the firebox door

[Aldeb]

Time for the water injectors, manifold and whistle.

[Aldeb]

Starting to add the rest of the cabin controls.

After that I'll add the cabin and the braking system.
Ok then, starting first are these two bits: the regulator arm, seen in the center. And the pressure gauge, which is connected to the manifold.


Next are the measurement taps, used to measure water level in the boiler.


Next is the water gauge. This is used too... also measure water in the boiler. But if i understand right, this isn't always reliable (notably when running on or off hills). It may give false indications, which is possibly when the other taps come into play. The levers on the sides are simple shut off valves, and the lower one releases water altogether. You'll notice that a lever contraption was attached to the left side to make it fit besides the regulator arm



Finally we have the oil pipes, used to deliver oil from the tender into the firebox (yes, this engine also burns oil as well coal). This is somehow attached to an oil injector, but I have never seen anything like it in real life, and the plans are very confusing for me to build a reliable one in 3D. So the oil injector isn't complete.


And the ashpans, used to empty the resulting ash after a fire




Once again, in order of appearance:

Just awesome
