Terry and Steve,
Thanks for the kind words on my project. The sump has an opening that exits
under the locomotive and is piped towards the rear. It works well and makes
a nice bit of steam coming from under the loco.

Friends,
I recently ordered some hardware from MicroFasteners.com for my "Project."
I placed the order on their website and received the stuff two days later.
I'd call that super service.
I obtained some brass through MetalMart.com. I was about to order through
their internet site when I d

The rule-of-thumb in ALL scales is to be sure to have a section of tangent
track in the middle of an S (or reverse) curve at least as long as the
longest car you are going to run on your line. This will significantly
reduce your chances of derailments operating in either direction. For
Trot makes an excellent point about S-curves. Tight S-curves will be the
first place a problem with body-mounted couplers will show up. Backing
through the S-curve will be worse. I use body-mounted couplers on my rolling
stock and have had no problems on trackage that has been set up for big
steam
If you are sticking to curves greater than 5' diameter I recommend going
with body mounting the couplers. Especially if you scratch built your
trucks from wood and such. :) This is the way I've been setting up all my
rolling stock and one of my curves dips to 4' diameter and I still have no

Before I start any serious work on a live steamer I
try to get some feeling for different materials, tools
and techniques by scratch building other useful
things.
I made two boogies/trucks out of wood which I fix with
screws to the bed of the car. Where should I attach
the coupling, to the bed of

That is the answer from my customer who is has BMW mechanics shop. If Arthur
or any body else know the answer I can get the cost; most likely wholesale.

Okay, I can't stand it anymore: can someone please point me to sufficient
information about how a Goodall valve works so that I can understand why
they're so all-fired wonderful? A well-done working drawing would be
particularly helpful!

Dear steamers,
Please let me know what wheels are suitable for pilot truks and
trailing trucks of "perk up Ruby" (SitG61-63).
Thanks for any help.

Carl,
Beautiful job on the Project Loco!
I was wondering;
Is that the 'heritage' engine from Midwest?
Are you using a ceramic burner, and did you build it or is the burner a commercial
unit?
Also did you use the 'Steam in the Garden' articles for the alterations to the boiler?
Thanks
Terr
Carl,
Beautiful job on your project loco! Thanks for sharing.
Please tell me: how do you drain the sump?

I made a Goodall valve that takes the place of a clack valveworks great!

Arthur,
Does the pump cost as much as the locomotive?
Keep your steam up!

Ive built hand pumps with goodall type valves on the discharge side,once you
get the "fit" correct for the tubing works well..they will not work on the
suction side.suction side valve must be lowest possible resistance to
flow,and that means ball valve.I also tried goodall type as a boiler
