I was just about to order a life-time supply of brass escutcheons from
MacMaster Carr. Does anybody know what size is best for rivets and the
like? The smallest they have in Mac. Carr is 19 gauge. Do they come in a
smaller diameter. I heard Sulphur Springs sells escutcheons. Does anyone
know
and as an addenda to the below, i actually broke down, went upstairs
and checked my latest (march/april 2002) live steam magazine and
there on page 45 is an ad for "building the heisler" with the phrase
"back in print!" next to a picture of the cover.

to Build . . . " are also available. Incidently,

"So you want to build a live steam locomotive" is very good for large

Publications, Box 286, Cadilac, Michigan 49601. Magnificent work by him

I recommend this book highly for any steam library. Even though it

Don:
There are many sources of reading material for building small loco's. Two
contemporary books are put out by the Gauge 1 Model Railway Association
(G1MRA). The books are how-to manuals for our size engines, although they
are English engines. You can get a look at them @ http://www.gaugeone

Could any of you suggest beginners reading material and basic "How to do it"
