Steam Tram Photo

[Steve Shyvers]

Steve Ciambrone ran a really nice scratchbuilt steam tram ("Toby") at 
the National Summer Steamup. I found this photo and a drawing of a neat 
steam tram in Alfred W. Bruce's "The Steam Locomotive in America". 
Sorry that the photo copy quality is poor.

The drivers are spoked. Note that the roof is curved instead of peaked 
as in the drawing. The pipes above the roof could be for a steam 
condensing apparatus, but there is no mention of it in the text.

Thanks for the info Dave!

I must say the new models look pretty nice, very fine detail - the drivers
look stunning!

Kindest Regards,

Hi Pete,

I had the same problem trying to open with AutoCad R14,  ended up
downloading Qcad using the link provided.  Note however that the file is the
same as shown on the webpage.

Kindest Regards,
PeteH

Hi Henner,
Neat design!  However, I couldn't get the dxf file to open (in AutoCAD).  I 
got an error message:
"Improper color number 0 for Layer on line 140.
Invalid or incomplete DXF input -- drawing discarded."

Does your CAD program give you the option of saving as a dwg file, or in a 
different dxf version?

thanks,
pf

Sorry again for the late reply, as I can post to this group only on weekends
(Is there a way to post from a different E-mail address ?). Anyway, some of
you asked for information about my alcohol ring burner. Instead of mailing
the information, I asked my friend David to post it on his WEB site. He
kindly agreed. Here is the link:
