RE: Strange Mogul
Having the last drivers set back under the cab is not too unusual. It is done on both moguls and ten wheelers. I believe it was done for better balance and so as not to have to use a trailing truck.

RE: Air Supply (not the band)
If you use an air supply, what happens to the steam oil that is suppose to get to the cylinders? There is no steam to condense to displace the oil, wouldn't this mean that the cylinders are running without any lub.

But, cost wasn't in your list of parameters, so I guess that's no problem. What you want is a two-stage, oil bath compressor. The ones you buy down at the hardware store won't cut it -- you'll probably have to go to an industrial supply. regards, -vance- Vance Bass Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA Small-scale live steam resources: http://www.nmia.com/~vrbass
RE: Back to O rings
To Bob Thanks for answering my question on using goodall valves for feeding boilers. I hadn't heard about them having to be above the high water mark. Do you know the reason why? I figured the pressure to hold them closed would be the same in or out of water as the water is under the same pressure.

I have made my own with a union fitting instead the usual fill hole. They work fine, but have to be above your high water line to work. Bob
RE: Back to O rings
I am installing a water pump to add water to my engine while under steam. Rather than using a regular check valve, is there any reason I couldn't use a goodall valve instead. Has amyone tried this?

RE: Regner kit mallet
Gary I ordered the mallet with the axel punp, steam brakes and the cleaning steam line. They is the present problem, Lorenz has the engine but the extras he needs hw may nnot be able to get as Mr. regner is in the hospital the last I knew. If you would llike to e mail me do so at [EMAIL PROTECTED] bob -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Gary Sent: Saturday, December 21, 2002 3:20 PM To: Multiple recipients of sslivesteam Subject: Regner kit mallet Thanks for pointing that out Bob! Last I looked into this mallet it was built up only. Many recommended I not buy this one as first loco. In my view, since I have repaired three live steam locos for friends, I probably can buy a loco like this as a second loco. Lorenz Schug is assembling the Aster Alisan Shay for me. He is assembling your mallet and selling other guage one trains. Busy fellow. I will have the "train money" soon to buy the kit for this mallet. The Regner mallet not only looks great, but it has a live steam hose for cleaning off the loco! That is something unique, right?
