Sir Saltingness,
You asked: "Salty the slug killer, where is my salt shaker?"
Right next to your beer--with the lime.
Look forward to the photos, Dave and Sir Salt.
Helpful Geoff.

Do I send the pictures to your E-mail address? I will select some of the
better full views for all to see. Many of the pictures were of close up
details as I am thinking that this would be a good project to convert my Ruby.
For all else I will be sending the pictures to Davi
Steve,
What you need to do here is to remove the centre 1" of the boiler support
foot horizontal leg (file it back flush).
Then take the 1/4" square brass cross-member and saw out the centre 1",
leaving two bits 1/2" long which will be bolted to the frames as intended.
So now you have a clear 1" s

had good success locating books through them. Charles

If it's a 2-4-4, it aint a Forney. Irrespective of what others may say, a
TRUE Forney is either a 0-4-4, or an 0-6
I would suspect BTU calculations for the volume of steam needed along
with the voltage to be provided would give the amperage required for the
electric boiler. For reference, check out the toy boiler/engine units
sold in the better (read pricer) toy stores. Some were electric, others

Peter,
After fitting the alcohol firebox to the Roundhouse boiler how did you
support the back end of the boiler? My Roundhouse boiler has a mounting
foot brazed to the backhead directly below the flue entrance. I could not
see an easy way to fit a firebox and duct to the flue without enclosing

Salty,
Was the bike motor a Wizzer or was it Whizzer? They were really popular after
W.W.II when cars were still scarce. As I recall, they used white gas, and
also required pedal power on the hills.
Keep your steam up!

first. :]

Hello Salty,
Being the steam enthusiast that everyone else on this list is, I would really
like to see the pictures.
Since you say that you can scan them, there's an easy solution to getting them
on the web for all to enjoy. Try "zdnet.com". They will give you space (up to
15Mb I think) for a

I would be very interested in seeing one or two of the

As to posting on a web site. I suggest that you look
to either finescalerr.com that has two photo sections,
one dedicated to narrow gauge or or steam in the
garden which also has a photo

Hi everyone. Just returned from a week vacation in Southern Minnesota.
While driving down I 35 I saw a wonderful old Steam Locomotive (2-4-4)

Hello Everyone,
Track powered heaters for our steamers? Dry ice powered "steamers"? The

Track powered heaters: I see where this could be possible, but what kind of
voltage and wattage from the power supply? Obviously it would depend on the
