Hi Jeff,
Impressive. I particularly like the Johnson Bar quadrant control. No
more fiddling with the screw reverser.
Also with eight coupled flanged drivers, you may need the recheck the
rads on your new track before you finish it off, this engine is not a
flangless C16!.

Hi Jeff, Tony and Geoff,
Did anyone beside me notice that the steam gauge is getting it's feed
from the turret? I would think that to be a poor spot to measure the
boiler pressure, since fluctuations from using the blower, whistle, and
what not would give an inconsistant reading at best? I know it

Keith,
I don't see that as worth worrying about, especially when you're doing
well to get within 5psi of true reading with the typical miniature steam
gauge
Hi Keith,
I didn't notice, you brought it to my attention. I suppose the proof will
be in the pudding, when it is running but I am sure the gauge would reflect
a slightly lower pressure and fluctuation as you state, but as Harry
noted: I don't see that as worth worrying about, especially when
Keith,
Thanks for the tip about the connection of the gauge siphon to the
turret. I have to agree with Geoff and Harry about the probable impact
on a miniature steam gauge. Siphon connection point, and knowing actual
boiler pressure, is probably more critical when pressures are much
higher and
