Re: Flying Scotsman
Hi Geoff, I thought you had already reviewed the Scotsman at Diamonhead?. So what extra bells and whistles are they adding which you have not seen?. i.e. coal fired?, Hidden Safety valves, Operational Cylinder blow down valves?. Two corridor tenders with water scoops? BR Green version instead of LNER Apple green?, Smoke Deflectors?, Kylchap Smokestack?. Working running lamps?. R/C?. Rake of LNER Teak Coaches?. What did I miss out?. Regards, Tony D.

Re: Missing postings from the group
Hi Graham, Duchess has full walschearts valve gear. Has R/C Throttle with integrated blower control, and operating cylinder blow down drain cocks. Also has finite R/C cut-off control on forward and reverse. Throttle can also be set manually to adjust for load. i.e. overrides R/C throttle. Note- Barretts engines are all slip eccentric, so can only be controlled with R/C on throttle, but still interesting to run. Are you building your own Duchess or who is making for you?.

Re: Flying Scotsman
Hi Geoff, As far as I am concerned, you can mention anything!. Was very good to see you at Pleasanton and chat. Albeit too briefy. Now if you had visited me on Monday, things would have been far different. Tony D. At 04:43 PM 7/30/02 -0700, Geoff Spenceley wrote: >What's the Buzz, tell me what's happening, What's the Buzz.

Re: Flying Scotsman
Sure, not so far for the boat to go!! Believe they are on sale in the UK too. Must be the hands of Hans, he's not rowing fast enough!!. Geoff.

Re: Flying Scotsman
Thanks 'Arry, I also hear that it is an excellent model with features Aster has not incorporated in previous models. Ancient infirm--whoops!- informed Geoff. >At 04:43 PM 7/30/02 -0700, you wrote: >>Anyone know when the Flying Scotsman will be delivered > >I hear whispers "they're on the boat." >hw >

RE: Missing postings from the group
Tony, Last week I got the vertical boiler soldered for the 4-2-0 project loco, and I bought material for the boiler jacket. As soon as I fit the jacket to the boiler I will start working out the steam plumbing and burner details. Maybe I'll have it in steam by the 17th, but I won't bet on it. Steve
Re: Missing postings from the group
I've just been moving and have nothing to say. No time to play with the
steamer makes Trot a weary fox... {:]
Soon though this will all be alleviated when I get the garage (I have an
attached garage now!) cleaned up enough to lay track around it. The Ruby
will steam again!!!
Trot, the slowly-plodding, fox...

Hi David. Received my first posting today and am very impressed ( ie ) with letters and comments plus photo's In responce to your request for steam news ;;was interested in Tony;s note about misinformation about his R/C Duchess ;; I have just added R/C to my Duchess and wondered if tony;s was throttle and reversing or just throttle Was thinking of making a streamlined version with four cylinders and walchearts VG and use R/C on both . Thanking you again David great to talk steam.

Re: Missing postings from the group
Well I went on vacation for 9 days after the steamup and have been trying to catch up ever since. I did get a moment to work on the boiler for my philly, only to discover that I have to make the main barrel over again (thanks, Gary (Watson)) for sending me enough to make two). That's what happens when you deviate from the plans. royce in SB Anthony Dixon wrote: > Where have all the live steamers gone?. > Have not seen much e mail action in last few weeks. > Is everyone going diesel-electric?. > Or everyone out steaming and no problems?. > Tony D. >
