17/05/2020 11:31:03

I'm rebuilding an 71/4" gauge 0-4-0 GWR dock shunter and I want to fit an axel driven water pump between the frames. can anyone advise me of the ideal size of this pump 3/8" or 1/2" ram etc?

Thank you in advance.

Can anyone tell me what the two valves which I've circled in red do? Photo taken at the NRM of the footplate of Riddles BR Standard 9F.

I assume these engines need a steam test before you can go an run them anywhere just like any other newly built loco?

Yes Jason, the locomotive requires a Hydraulic Test and Steam Test. The only certification is a certificate of conformity and Boiler Shell Test certificate.

Which club are you a member of?

I’m a member of TSMEE in Newcastle

Yes Jason, mine has only got the Shell Test Certificate.

I have just taken delivery of their 9F, which they referred to as 'Pilot 1'

I have been led to believe it was the first pre-production model delivered from the Chinese builder, there is also a 'Pilot 2' which they are using at various venues. The production build is due for import in September 2019, 50 models?

My model came very well packed in two packing cases, I've removed all the packing material but removing the loco from the box is a two man lift, if you can find some where to grip the model, needless to say it’s still in the box waiting for my mate to call around to give me a hand to lift it out and onto my work bench.

The paperwork is of three A4 sheets, a 12 month warranty, a certificate of conformity and a Boiler Shell test certificate. I will require a further boiler hydraulic test and steam test at my club before I can run the model.

I can give a progress report as it happens if anyone would be interested?

Tony.

Thread: Archdale 18" Vertical Milling Machine
04/08/2018 12:14:49

Tony,

Just out of idle curiosity, I followed up NDIY's lead and it took me to the Traction Talk forum. One "Steamlad1" was selling, in 2014 mind you, an Archdale 18" mill with single phase coolant pump. It even gives an email contact address and mobile number. If you're feeling particularly cheeky, you could try contacting him to see if he can assist with your enquiry. He may even know the current whereabouts of the machine, assuming it sold. Here's the direct link to the web site:

John

The suds pump on the Archadale 18” originally was belt driven from the main motor. the flow of suds is controlled by a simple valve (my pipework is still present) The pump runs continuously with I would think a pressure relief valve back to the reservoir for excess suds? If Steamlads Archdale has a single phase mother I would tend to think it has been modified or a different model to mine. But it is worth a try, I’ll drop him an email. Many thanks.

There is one pic on ‘goggle’ images that specifically mentions cooling pump.

Do you have the link please?

03/08/2018 20:28:13

Yes Brian, nothing there. I have found a couple photos on line, but the pumps are missing of these millers too. Thanks.

03/08/2018 20:04:29

Does anyone have an Archdale 18” Verticle Miller? I’m after a photograph of the coolant pump arrangement, mine is missing and looking at fitting a belt driven retro pump.

Thread: Pillar or radial drill
03/08/2018 11:40:34

Thanks for the tips, realising a proper radial driller would be far too big, far too expensive and would take up more workshop space than I have. Im now looking at a second hand floor pillar drill. I have seen an Ajax AJP025, they look very basic but substantial.

02/08/2018 19:29:41

Im looking at renewing my bench mounted pillar drill for a floor mounted one. On shopping around to see what is available I got my eye on a radial floor mounted example. Given the choice would you choose a pillar or radial and why?

Thanks for this Chris, do you still need a Rotary Converter for this? (I have just bought one from Transwave)

11/03/2018 19:22:18

Hi Chris. Any photos, wiring diagram?

10/03/2018 21:33:52

Hi Chris. Did you fit the dual speed motor to you Harrison?

Thread: Harrison 140 Spindle Speeds.
20/03/2017 19:28:19

Harrison 140's that were destined for schools and training establishments had a maximum spindle speed of 750rpm. Others 140's that were destined for shop floors had spindle speeds in excess of 1000rpm. Does anyone know what it would take to convert my lathe to the higher speed version?
