The first test of Speedbird with her afterburner functioning. Speedbird is my 600 mm gauge rocket train, built over the last 12 months to help me in my quest for setting a world record for narrow gauge rocket powered rail vehicle operated by a person. The aim is for 230 kph.
She isn't on the tracks yet - that's the next stage. For now it's just an opportunity for static testing until we move on from COVID restrictions and can get her running properly.
She starts on propane, and runs on 10 gallons per hour of kerosene in the main engine and around 30 gallons per hour in the afterburner. Admittedly a full tank doesn't last long!
