Re: Asian Grocery Butane Adapter
One of the steamers running at Marc Horovitz' garden railway convention open house had a simple one made from a piece of nylon rod. It was about an inch long with a passage drilled through the middle and appropriately sized holes for the Ronson valve and the can's neck on either end. Worked just fine. Mike O'Rourke provided an exender with his Crickets that was just a couple of pieces of brass tubing soldered together. The main length was a piece with the right I.D. for the Ronson valve, with a short (~ 1/4") piece at the top to mate to the can. (This was to extend the conventional butane valve, but the principle is the same.) -vance- A dead man asks you to remember the highest ideal of the warrior is that he lay down his sword.

Re: Asian Grocery Butane Adapter
Hi Tom, I believe that Royce at Quisenberry Station is supposed to have adapters to fit these cans. I was looking to get one myself.Earle Jones Thomas E Bowdler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Fellow steamers, > I was able to get some butane from an asian grocery store near my > son's home in MD.

Asian Grocery Butane Adapter
Fellow steamers, I was able to get some butane from an asian grocery store near my son's home in MD. It is indeed inexpensive but the neck is too short to reach down to the top of the cab-mounted tanks on most of my locos. What are you using for adapters that function like the screw on adapters for Coleman/Primus gas cans? Thanks, Tom

Accucraft's New SP 060 Switcher Colors
Calling all SP Fans, I'm interested in the new Accucraft live steam SP 060 switch engine. I was wondering if anyone on the list knows what shade of blue will be used on the engine. I asked Cliff at Accucraft and he said the color specs were all in China. He thought our list mom had done the color research but mom said no. Apparently the SP yard crews had too much time on their hands and took to painting their engines as they saw fit. Cliff said someone in the San Francisco area had done the research and given the colors to Accucraft. I thought it would be nice to have a picture before spending any money! Don
