Apparently, I came in late to the discussion . . . What is this
"Project Book" and where does one obtain a copy? Thanks, Charles

The "Project Book" is published by the Gauge 1 Model Railway Ass. in

of the book as well as their quarterly newsletter(magazine). Its a model of

Did you ever attend? What is your criteria for "accepted"?
I think a mid-west steamup is a good idea. I think more regional
steamups are a good idea. I think that Diamondhead is one of the
rarest,

I don't think that I will be the first to advise you all that hearing
isn't the only thing that diminishes with age. Just ask old Geoff or any
other of us old codgers!

To get finer adjustment on the servo controlled throttle, try using a
"deglitcher," it lengthens the time, or slows down the movement of the servo.
Seems to have helped my loco's.

"Deglitcher", are we discussing a capacitor bridge in
series with the signal to the servo or is this placing
another electrical circuit between the the xmiter and
rcvr? The Ruby has a very course adjustment on the
throttle and a small adjustment provides a significant
change in steam release.

Tom,
Organize it, publish it, and some people will
come...You'll probably find excuses about distance,
time inconvenience, work commitments,age(just Walt,Jim
and Geoff),etc regardless of the event's
location...That's why multiple events are great. If
you can't make one, perhaps you can reach

As below,-I agree with Sam-- as I did with Jim Crabb's message and Richards
comments. I love D.H as I do the NSS--both different, unique, and very
enjoyable. Of course, D.H is an institution (yep-partly a mental one!)
while NSS for me is good, because I meet the fellow California steamers

In addition to Jim's thorough description of the book, I would add that it's
worth getting even if you're not going to build the engine. There are many
good plans and explanations of various components -- the boiler, for example
-- which are applicable to any engine.
Many builders have
Hi,
Electronics and I are not on a first name basis. All I know is it is a gadget
with little (dip?) switches on it that change the rate at which things
happen. It plugs in to the receiver and the servo is plugged in to it. I know
that it reduces much of the radio interference I get from the

Jun,
I would advise that you find the book "A Beginner's Guide to Model Steam
Locomotives" by Tim Coles. This book shows the procedures for making all
parts of a model steam
