Hello all,

I take here the chance to share with you some information of the construction and build of a tasmanian K1. My club colleage Jakob Helf build this locomotive to a high standard. The K1 runs in compound action like the orignal. Nearly from all building steps he made pictures and I made a video of all material on from my own material.

I think it is very interesting to see the loco growing in steps. Now it runs very good but in the beginning he had some draw backs. And one thing he had to learn ,If you drive with compound steam you have to be patient ,because the hole procedure to start need some time. At first he open the steam valve to fast and the loco slips on the track. After some run in he learned to give some small amount to start and wait the K1 starts smooth without sleeping.

I hope you can enjoy the video with his work

best regards

Werner
