I did the same on my Roundhouse. It's easy on those locos because
there's a vacuum tap valve you can get, that screws into the water-level
drain
John,
I am very interested in the idea of cylinder/piston assemblies, I intend to persue building my own steam engine along the lines of the Bargs prodject, moving onward to a tram type enginge for either 45mm or perhaps "O" (just to sayI've done it). How practicle are the sizes needed f
When I made a modified Bagars I took the Midwest boiler and made a new
shroud sheet from hobby shop brass sheet. I put twice as many air holes as the
original, and raised the pressure "can" about another 1/2 inch or so. Also

My friend Ted solved cold water bath problems for his Roundhouse engine tank
by making a small line drizzle steam into the tender to warm it up. Worked
well. Just had to keep the amount of steam down to a tiny bit to keep the
butane bath warm enough for the butane to always be warm enough on cold

There are quite a number of very nice little live steamers on the
German market at the moment and the interest seems to be climbing.

U.S. models very attr
Bert,

problem was that the "splitter" had been bent too tightly and was kinked
restricting gas flow to one side(Accucraft supplied a replacement) and the
flexible gas feed pipe was too long when the tender was close coupled
I like the cute little engines Herr Schug http://www.mbv-schug.de/ sent
pictures of in his last send. Little engines by Regner Live-Steam locos
"Konrad" and "Willi". I have like looking over MBV-Schugs online listing of
steam items for some time. Sometimes he has some unusual items. This is

Thank you for your offer. I have talked extensively with Cliff on this
one and as you said he was very helpful, but having just moved to a new
building and his new workshop not yet as he would like it he was not
able to confirm that this is a common problem. I suspect that some
