Jim,
Does that include "scary looking" oddballs like the John Thompson/BAGRS
conversion, or just engines that are easily identified as "toy trains"?
See you in Diamondhead!

Dan, Good to hear your advice--Any way, after all my fussing and
worry, I have shipped to Diamondhead by UPSmashup.!! I had more

Thanks for the tips to protect my wicks. Now I shall only wet my whistle.
Yes. I don't know how I will find my glasses (which type??). Someone
will take my wicks and everything not under your watchful eye- I
shall miss you as always.

Geoff, I had the "wet wick" problem a long time ago and was told by the then
Aster Guy that if I had been the least bit careless in putting replacement
water in the tender, there is an almost perfect path for replacement water
to go down to the wicks. You can solve this rather easily by putting

The Lion does have its learning curve. As a consolation when adding
too much water through the tender inlet, it does raise steam quickly.
Hopefully, I will not need a holster for the fan on a permanent basis.

You have a point. I have been sitting on a South Bend lathe for three

tapes to lathe work from the ad in Live Steam magazine. At the time, I

While I don't have an Aster Lion, I DO have Marcus' booklet on making
and installing the axle pump. First rate ! Clear drawings. Great
photos. If you can't get him to make any of the kits, his booklet would
walk you through making the pump yourself.

Joe,
Thanks for the info on the axle pumps. I ran the Lion, for some
reason the wicks wouldn't burn (altho I had a lot a lot of
successful runs in the last 1-1/2 years) so I had to do some work
on them. After fiddling, I couldn't find anything wrong--I think I
had got them wet somehow. (not

Jim et al,
Thanks one and all for the information and advice on trains and
planes. It is appreciated.

lI continue to encounter NO problems flying Southwest with as many as three
steamers in my carryon.

Does this mean you have had difficulty with other airlines? How about
anyone else with other airlines? Are there airlines that will be
problematic and we should avoid booking flights to steamups?
