We all need good health and happy loving family relationships. Now down to the nitty gritty. The idea of automating the maintaining of the water level through a miniature sight glass in my opinion is like impossible. The sloshing around of the boiler water, the deposits left inside the sightglass tube, capillary action of water, and the miniature electronics required have to be taken into account. You have to keep in mind that water, weight, some dimensions, and pressure can't be scaled down in our applications. See you in DH. Arthur---Mexico City

That could cause some major problems with flow and an accurate glass reading. Most of these glasses are not big enough in diameter to start with and as you run, the water tends to bob up and down especially on grades. Constant attention to the water level works the best here. Air bubbles tend to form in the small glasses used in Gauge-1 locos and the best test of accurate water levels is to check for the bobbing mentioned above.
