No problem. You're sharing information about specific products. The essence

There's been some good articles in Steam in the Garnden on whistles, one in
the latest issue, can't remember the author, but he's thinking about making
some to sell-down the road. Might check it out. He's had several in this
last year or so.

My opinion - an easy build, but not really a model of anything. It's more
a caricature, but can be built into a credible kind of tramroad engine (as

vertical boiler lokies.
there were plans for two whistles on Model engineer 4 June 1982, one looks to
be a little over two inches long, and the other is shorter. They are "BELL"
whistles for steam.
They were for the models, Jupiter, and Mary Ann

Sorry, now that that's out of the way I'll have to say that I'm _new_ to
the hobby, migrating in from electric HO practice. Currently I'm
considering which loco to make my first steamer. I don't have any
trackage layed out yet, but plan to run

Lloyd,
I never owned a Cricket, but I believe they were made in two versions,
one with a fixed single acting cylinder and one with the oscillating
cylinder. The picture I saw of one used the oscillating

IMHO it is a really fun project. I am in the final stages of building

I didn't know that some of the Crickets had oscilating cylinders. Thanks
for the info. Interesting.

Currently I'm looking the way of the Ruby. I don't car for the
inside-to-outside valve gear on the Sammie. I like somewhat complicated
things. ;) I feel it gives the loco a more realistic look as well.

I received my Ruby yesterday, can't wait to fire her up this weekend.
Looks very well built.
Anyone have tips on what to look for, or changes that need to be made?
This is my first live steamer. I'm in Eastern PA.

It always seemed to me to be a good idea,
but since they never 'took off', I'd assumed there were problems with the
performance or production.
