If you use an air supply, what happens to the steam oil that is suppose to
get to the cylinders? There is no steam to condense to displace the oil,
wouldn't this mean that the cylinders are running without any lub. Bob

Hey Spenceley,
I have a length of .125" ID stainless that I just haven't installed yet. I
need the olive fittings so that I can get it in there non-permanent. The
only thing keeping me away from getting those is the desire to completely
modify the valve gear on the loco. ;] I have this idea
Actually, I didn't ask for it at all. My wife did as she's the one he kept
shredding. I was, and still am, all for full claws as I have moral
difficulty modifying natures little angels for my own comfort. However, as

You are correct! I forgot cost and it does matter. I do not want to spend
a fortune.

Chuck, the quiet ones are gonna cost you a LOT. But, cost wasn't in
your list of parameters, so I guess that's no problem. What you want
is a two-stage, oil bath compressor. The ones you buy down at the
hardware store won't cut it -- you'll probably have to go to an industrial
supply.

Hi JR,
Please you appreciated the details.
I forgot to mention the super elevated curves we can use in Guage 1,
and sometimes need if caught out by the "dwell time"!.
Also, what is a "Diesel", are they allowed on this website!!!???.
Best Regards,

Harry,
Thanks for the tip on Harris, I was unaware of that brand. I asked about JM
because one of the books that I have (UK origin) mentioned their products. I
agree with your rant. At least they didn't prevent the use of the back
button to leave the site (I hate that).

I have been using a portable electric bike pump for years as an air supply
to run the engines with. It is so NOISY! Wife hates it. Dog runs and
hides. Etc, etc, etc. Who has a slick solution to this dilemma?
Requirements: quiet, variable (0 to 80 psi or so), easily attached to the
engine, etc.
Hey Solomon,
I really enjoy your comments to our group. (except for cats!) That is an
interesting point you make,-- the steam chest on the Ruby is very similar
to air operated equipment and it works very well. The quick response on the
Johnson Bar (which it is not really) depends on the porting d

Declawed your friend!--are you really his friend? Our sweet Emmie, outside

anything but her scratching post. However, the uprights for the elevated
track are a bit shredded!
I suppose that if you had your finger
As an interesting note, I have noticed the same thing on my R/C Ruby.
Johnson bar movements have an immediate response though, I suspect due to
the much shorter steam lines affected. No superheat installed on this
loco yet so all that line has to be filled/heated when the throttle is
adjusted. ;]
When my kitten was front-declawed a few months ago he came back the next
day ready to go with no stiches. The digits had been 'glued' closed and
he was fine to walk on them although you could tell it was somewhat
uncomfortable to do. Made me wonder if they'd used a CA derivative but

I think I would opt for CA over staples or stitches,
Never had CA and have had the latter. Seems CA is less painfull
having had stitches minus any freezing.

Tony D:
Fantastic write up. Simply fantastic. I am amazed at how things are the
same from full sized down to Gauge 1. Especially the delay or dwell time
you talk about. Prior to heading into the curve on the smaller full sized
engines we run, you have to give it some throttle or you die in the
I was conserned that the "No" could be interpreted as "NO!" which it
certainly was not. It was intended as a completly informative "No" with no
empaphsis or strenght in its use. I have just used CA quite often though I
did cringe a bit with the story of glueing the finger back together.

Hi JR,
Really good feedback, and I recognise many parrallel "actions and
reactions" in my 10mm scale coal burners.
I run two coal burners, one is controlled 'by hand", which has only two
controls, one for throttle and one for the blower, with a slip eccentric
controlling forward and revers

Hi Bob
hard Soldering is correct. (soft soldering is no problem)
I am using borax and water although the borax does not seem to dissipate
into a smooth paste but rather a granular watery paste.
I may not have gotten the metals hot enough the silver solder had
no problem adhering to the machined pie

It works, but not really well. I'm glad Ferd. asked the question,

It seems like all of the things that work well are really bad for something.

There are two, white flux and black flux and most solder mfgs
make one or both. Both are good and any good welding supply shop should
have the white. Blac
Hi
I know this question has been brought up before and I
apologise for bringing it up again.
Can I please ask for advice on where to get and what to
get as far as good flux goes. I have lots of silver solder
and the flux I have been using has provided less than happy results.
Thanks in advance

I have used knurling and JB weld on a press fit with good results.
