My recollection is that, when my Ruby did this, the fix was to plug the microscopic air leaks in the burner chain. Trouble is, I don't remember exactly which part I sealed, but I recall making a brass shim to hold the burner body tighter in the flue and putting Teflon tape on some threads (presu

I'm in Dallas on a business trip. A couple of my colleagues invited me to go to dinner with them (apparently, there's some kind of "game" being played tonight that they're excited about). But I declined. I returned a short time ago, after having some good Texas BBQ with John Thomson and Landon

Clark, I know that when I joined G1MRA the Project book came for free, but looking at the G1MRA website I think that you have to buy it now (cheaper for members). The current book is also a lot fancier than the typewritten original with hand sketches. But it is certainly worth it, and the loco is
