used to drive back of Natmor single track and from Cresor to tany bwlec

thank's bullet

yes that's him

I volunteer with him at pugneys lol

@@harri1234 bob's a friend of mine

@@peter15871 Cool!

There is no prototype as the loco is not a model. Just a small experimental turbine in 5" gauge. No condenser, the exhaust goes up the blast pipe, but you need the blower on as although there's a lot of exhaust it will not draw the fire sufficiently.

@@69woodburner And where can you find out about this prototype on the net, especially about the turbine and engine characteristics?

@@69woodburner By the way, are there models of trains operating on an overheated couple of degrees like ,, flash steam engine boats ,,?

@@user-yr4ii4su1v Not that I know of. This loco has stainless steel radiant super heaters which come right through the boiler to the back of the firebox.

@@user-yr4ii4su1v I don't think there is anything on the net about it. It has a three nozzle Stumpf turbine with a vertical shaft in the front bogie. There is a single nozzle reverse turbine on the same shaft to stop the loco. The boiler runs at 100psi. There are a couple more videos of it on my channel. One taken in 2009 with the builder driving.

5"gauge prototype not a model

sorry john its not mine i just videod the ride around

ah ha yes it was taken at Morley in derbyshire at my club derbysmee , hopefully this clears things up ,on facebook type in morley railway. please ask if you want anymore info

plus you wont see us on google earth we are hidden in a small wooded area we are situated close by morley golf club

Turbine locomotives used MASSIVE amounts of steam, which is why they were proved unreliable. However they were pretty fast. I don't remember exactly, but I'd say about 100 miles an hour

turbine is literally a turbine

Turbine is faster and Piston is more power, I think.

Piston= high efficiency on medium and low speeds Turbine= high efficiency on high speeds

Ok brian always a pleasure

See what I can do brian

This is the Mk 3 version of the device. Built by the late Peter Southworth of Southworth pumps and engines.

The loco has a main stop valve on the backhead. She has three ahead nozzles controlled by a lever on the footplate. There is an astern nozzle controlled by a similar but separate nozzle valve. These work on an on or off priciple as it is a waste of steam to throttle a nozzle. I only do that for shunting purposes where very little power is needed.

very kind of yu bullet butt hats loud enough for me lol

will do an outside video when it stops raining

@@peter15871 U wana hear my o gauge deltic,its deafening!!

thanks. it was really helpful for me

sorry you would have to ask manufacture

thank's martin zero

thanks for the info

Built in the Georgian era.

can find out next time i go there

if they still exist = internet search GIBBS TECHNOLOGY was based in NUNEATON WARWICKSIRE United kingdom

I would love to buy one as well but Gibbs dose not produce the Humdinga for sale and will not sell these prototypes unit.

thanks
