I got the first run in on the VBClimax today to test the mechanics.

It seems to all work well after cutting down the burner for the
boiler...that's a long
sucker leading into the gas jet and clearance was the main problem to get it

Is there anyone out there who has made (or at least started) making a Dave
Gingery lathe? I got a start on making one a couple of years ago, but
substituted a length of H-column and some bar stock for the lathe bed in
place of the aluminum casting that Dave Gingery designed. My foundry skills
Found a website that has 5 different stationary steam engine plans
free for the downloading. www.steamengines.org The engines could spark a
few ideas, or act as a study for some of us.
Anyone out there have similar (free!) plans for small locomotives?
Boiler plans?

Thank you! I knew that there was a well known supplier that sells EMCO but
couldn't think of who it was. That takes a load off my mind.

I have the EMCO FB-2 Mill, made in Austria, not the far east like ENCO. I am

Ok, another lathe for discussion:
Anyone out there have one of the little Prazi lathe or mill? I've heard good

Austria. They also were the makers of the now out of production Unimat line of
hobby lathes. The Unimat really never stood up to their standards in my opinion,
even though I do own one.
I have used two EMCO lathes in th

I am confused - I have never ever heard of an EMCO and did not know that
ENCO made a lathe. but then I really don't know everything like them

I don't recall which company it was (perhaps Sherline?), but one of the small
lathe manufacturers has a money back satisfaction guarantee. Even if your lathe
of choice did not offer such a return policy, perhaps at the time of ordering
you could request that it could be returned after inspection
Richard & Shirley, as well as running the retail side, also have to find
time to develop, and in some instances manufacture new products. The
