Fell Engine Project - 2 Piece Crank S1.E36

On this episode I make a 2 piece crank in an attempt to improve on the one piece cranks turned in episode 22. For this latest attempt I utilise a benchtop lathe and milling machine along with a 150mm vertex rotary table.

The Fell Engine Project follows the construction my first live steam locomotive a 1:12 scale, 3.5" gauge locomotive from scratch using my own drawings.

The locomotive being built is modelled on the NZR H Class which operated on the Rimutaka Incline, a 1 in 15 average slope line which utilised a centre rail system for additional traction and braking. The longest serving of the H Class locomotives were built in 1876 and operated until 1955.
