Hi Art,
Unfortunately, even the best mail has to be delivered by my local mail
carrier! They try their best, but are inundated with tons of ads for ladies
underwear, discount coupons for food stuffs that nobody would eat on a bet
and a million catalogs that I did not ask for! Since the advent of
Hello Everyone,
I agree with Victor, that hand scraping is not used much anymore for
the most part. Although, hand scraping is still used quite extensively
in the precision machine building circles. I use this as a gauge that

Keith and list, Wife and I had the catalog problem wherein our PO box was

Something that works a little quicker (or did for me, anyway) is a

Now Larry is a Narrow Gauge chap, isn't he kind to this 1/32 pompous snob!
Actually, one of my favourite locos is the Merlin Hunslett, clumsily worked
over a few times but still powerful and long running.

Hi List,
I have just returned home after an great afternoon of steaming with Jim
Curry at his wonderful home railroad. He called this morning, while the
weather was a balmy 50° F. (Well, balmy for Maine in November!) What I
didn't realize, was that he was making this invitational call from his

I need to do some lettering on a Class A Climax I'm completing. My penmanship is
appalling, but I have been able to generate what I need on computer. Are there
any companies offering a computer file to decal type of service? Ideally I'd
like to email the file and get back the decals by FedEx. Is
Micro-Mark at www.micromark.com offer an ink jet or laser decal film that makes the
process a D.I.Y. operation. Just
put it in the printer, print and cut out the finished decal.

I also used an LBSC design as the basis for my pump. This was from the DIANA
4-6-0 G1 locomotive which assumed a casting for the pump body was available. I
made my body from brass stock, silver soldering the various bits together.

Keith,
Thanks for the info, but it still doesn't figure yet. Yes, I, too, forgot
the slots on the outlet side. They make a big difference! I had a problem
with the store bought check valve in the boiler not seating but seem to have
cured that. If my pressure is not too high in the boiler,
Kevin,
I've read your article with great interest. I don't quite understand
all of it, but this is my shortcoming and lack of knowledge. I'm still
learning.
If what I ask throws a curve ball into the mix, or changes the design
