There is a drawing of a Bear Claw stack in the NGSL Gazette, by John
Maxwell. His son also has a website with all his drawings and photographs.
It's a real treasure trove of Western US narrow gauge information and data.
Lots of narrow gauge trucks drawings, etc.

Hey Salty one,
Now my memory works-we have a fellow who owns a Heisler left over from the
old days when steam was used in the woods here. He had me "drive" it a
couple of years ago--about 100 feet on a short length of track-the brakes
were out and one had to use the johnson bar to stop the loco
>Thanks for the tip, Jerry.
I'm sure The stations will show it again and I'll look out for it. Well we
do have our own locos but we have to settle on something "slightly" smaller!

Yes, muchly more sense. :) The one time I tryed this though it went
*whoomph!* and there was no more fire. Seems that it just happened too

It's really time for you to subscribe to "Steam in the Garden", I think.
Larry Bangham has an article in the current issue on making a
diamond stack which does just what you're describing. Another,
simpler method is the screen wire cap, as seen on many engines

Running the Ruby on blocks today I bent up a small copper tube to deflect
the explosively boiling water downward and out of my face. This got me to
