My favorite YouTuber just posted a video where he's working on a repair to a 1917 Vulcan 0-4-0's cracked steam chest. https://youtu.be/hONRPxxui5g At the end of the video he mentions that he's looking to get a new casting made. Any of you happen to have one and can help him out? |

Hello, Keith has a good channel, very good resource for manual machining work. I believe his day job is a research scientist? He has a pretty good side hustle down in the woods of Tifton. Dream shop for sure! Regards, Randy |

Most machine shops can't comprehend the size of machines that are necessary to perform the machining necessary to keep a steam locomotive of standard gauge size in functioning good repair. The machines that kept steam engines functioning were melted into razor blades over half a century ago. Not only are the machines gone, so are the artists that operated them. Cutting Edge Engineering in Australia - does the machine work necessary to keep mining operating. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-O8j8D95GjE |
