Hey Steve, Read your post and was curious what "Mona" looked like. Searched all over the site but can't locate "Mona". Vic - Original Message - From: "Ciambrone, Steve @ OS" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Multiple recipients of sslivesteam" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2003 8:

Re: dead leg piping

Why use copper? Brass thin wall tube will give you the external size you want and the thin wall will give more internal space for the steam/oil to exchange. Vic in CA - Original Message - From: "Royce Woodbury" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Multiple recipients of sslivesteam" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Water Proof White Glue

I really don't know the construction material of your tender or what kind of access you have for repairs. If I had a leak in a brass tender that I could reach with either a soldering iron or a resistance soldering unit, that's the way I'd go. You could do it quick without burning off the paint. I

Re: Building Tenmille kits

I too use Titeabond, but only the Titebond II which is waterproof (above the waterline says the container). I have quite a few trestle bents and shingle covered structures that have been left in the garden for 5 plus years and have remained solid. Just be sure to wipe off excess as it is yellow.

Re: Survey is posted

Vance, You said in your post "We are remodeling our back yard so it will be more hospitable to a railroad..." It got me to thinking-What are some major points to having a successful live steam yard layout? I have a ground level line, and of course some of the weak points of bend and stoop have been

Re: Source for high temp wire for headlight

Hi Mitch and All, I've had great luck for several years running my gas fired engine and having power for the "oil lamp". What I did was place the AA battery in the "firebox" with a switch, and ran the hot lead through a boiler fill/ clack valve into the smoke box. Then protected it with model ai

Re: Cabeese and other questions.

I've run across a couple sources for Sandy River plans as well. Try contacting The Underground Railway Press, POBox 11279, Burke, VA 22009-1279. They aren't available via email, but have quite a variety. Also a super source for all the SR&RL cars is S.R.&R.L. Passenger Cars by Gary Kohler. The

Re: suggestions

Trent, Thanks for forwarding Patrick's Butane info. I wonder though how I would be able to fill my gas tank with one of those Asian Stove containers. I have a 5/8" deep by 5/8" dia tube with my gas valve down inside. Would I be able to reach it with an Asian style stove can?(They have that thread

Re: gt&e has first run

I have a similar problem with a tree. The rather large pine has decided to lay over to the side while it was young during several different wet windy winters. This has lifted the track on the root side, and made for occasional bumped heads on the other, trunk side. I'm hoping it doesn't get any

Re: pinch rolls

Harry and all, Gee I had to dust off an old metalworking book from my college days to remember the reason for the slip roll. All I could find was "to permit the cylinder to be removed without danger of distortion". I also remember making coil springs on the slip roll and thus you'd need to get

Re: Thin refractory material

Hi Royce, You may get by with material commonly used for our boiler lagging-FibreFax I think it is called. It's similar to asbestos in look/feel but a ceramic fiber product. I usually place it in my small crucible before I make a lost wax casting to protect the inner surface of the expensive cru
