Standard Wire Gauge (British version). Slightly different from American
Wire Gauge.
I substituted 0.040" brass for 18g SWG (0.0480") brass and 0.020" brass for
28g SWG (0.0149") brass. I bought th

I really like the idea of an electronic water level
indicator. My track is ground level, if I could adapt
an electronic indicator to my FrankS and Ruby that
would turn on when the water reaches a predetermined
level then I would not have to stand on my head to
look at a site glass or stop every 1

Jun,
"s.w.g." means "standard wire gauge". This is a standard that tells the
thickness of wire or sheet metal. The only chart I can find easily is printed in
very, very small type, so it's not something I can scan easily (or even read
easily!). If you can tell us the mate
Don, the Sammie is a surprisingly big engine -- at least 1:20.3 and probably
actually 1:19 scale, which is a more common scale in the UK. You definitely
don't want to put 1:29 cars behind it -- they're almost 1/3 too small!

Harry,
I'd have never thought of using #2-56 threads without a bushing on the
boiler. More food for thought.

Hello Everyone,
Maybe I'm missing something. Wouldn't there have to be a bushing silver brazed into
the
backhead (or somewhere) on the boiler to use a glow plug as a level sensor? If you were
going to do that you might as well just go ahead and put a regular sight glass in.
Right?

I do not have a Sammie, however I would not pull
anything under 1:22.5 with a preference for 1:20.3. I
do a mix with my Ruby using Hartford Product Cars and
have had favorable comments.

To those of you who have or have seen a Roundhouse Sammie pulling cars,
approximately what scale do you think looks best with it. The big stuff at
1:20.3, or the smaller end of G-scale at 1:29 or 1:32? Thanks in advance for
your input. Forgive me, but my day job is teaching mathematics and
Hello Harry,
You don't have to devote much time to it, but if you do happen to run across the
articles please let me know which issues I need to search for. Finding those
issues may be a completely different problem.
I didn't have a chance to experiment with anything on the electronic gauge
