Hi Jim (and List Members),
Referring to books and magazines etc.

Yes, the .0002" was a typo for .002".
As far as your strap is concerned I suspect, judging from my own experience,
that the problem is in surface finish. In order for a clearance of .001" to
work easily, both surfaces must be highly refined. The reamed surface, while

Royce,
That it should, but I anticipate two problems. The first is that for that

1. My concern is that there might be an ozone residual
left in the water. This would oxidize the material of
the boiler, pipes, valves, etc.
2. Since the label of the Echosprings product

I wonder why they took the trouble to ozone distilled

Is that REALLY .0002" ? or should that be .002" ? I just finished making an

I cannot imagine why it would be bad. Have a look here:

Hi Folks:
FYI - Book orders totaled 40 books split about evenly between the two. I
don't know how long it will take to get them here but I will request a heads
up when they ship and will post.
Sad news about Rick Runyon, check out the home page for SiTG.

Turbine Oil is very similar in properties to the 3in1 oil I mentioned
earlier in this thread. The 3in1 is reliable at high temps (does not break
down) and does not sling off in motion. As Kevin mentioned and I neglected
to state in my original post, it's the blue can (for electrical motor

I have used turbine oil and found it as satisfactory (or unsatisfactory) as
other things that have been mentioned in this thread.
Let's face it--a small steam loco is a lubrication nightmare. And it gets
worse if it's not carefully scratch-built but a commercially-produced loco

Many of the conversations at these wonderful steamups are loaded with

Pure distilled spring water is readily available at Loblaw's, Sobey's
and most other supermarkets in Ontario. Might have more luck at those
stores (if you haven't already tried them) or take a run over the
"border" into Ontario.

Ozoned water I would think will be bad. Ozone is added like chlorine is
added to stop bacteria etc. However this will make the water more
corosive so I wouldn't use it.

The only distilled water I could find here in Quebec
so far was at Walmart in their food section; but it is
ozoned.
Does anyone have information on Ozoned Distilled
Water? Can it be used in our loco boilers without
causing chemical reactions and long term damage?
