Ep 8 - Restoring Blacksmith Made Locomotive Brakes

This is the eighth episode in the series Restoring the Davenports, which follows my restoration of two narrow gauge 0-4-0T Davenport steam locomotives. In this episode we learn how the hand operated brake systems work on the locomotives, then we follow along as the brake rigging for engine number 1 is fully restored. If you look closely you'll notice that the two locomotives have completely different styles of brake rigging, although they both function in a similar manner. This project is 100% self funded, I'm not affiliated with any company or museum. A new episode will be uploaded the first Friday of every month!
