Why use copper? Brass thin wall tube will give you the external size you want and the thin wall will give more internal space for the steam/oil to exchange. Vic in CA - Original Message - From: Royce Woodbury [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Multiple recipients of sslivesteam [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent:

Re: Water Proof White Glue

I really don't know the construction material of your tender or what kind of access you have for repairs. If I had a leak in a brass tender that I could reach with either a soldering iron or a resistance soldering unit, that's the way I'd go. You could do it quick without burning off the paint.

Re: Building Tenmille kits

I too use Titeabond, but only the Titebond II which is waterproof (above the waterline says the container). I have quite a few trestle bents and shingle covered structures that have been left in the garden for 5 plus years and have remained solid. Just be sure to wipe off excess as it is

Re: Survey is posted

Vance, You said in your post We are remodeling our back yard so it will be more hospitable to a railroad... It got me to thinking-What are some major points to having a successful live steam yard layout? I have a ground level line, and of course some of the weak points of bend and stoop have been

Re: Source for high temp wire for headlight

Hi Mitch and All, I've had great luck for several years running my gas fired engine and having power for the oil lamp. What I did was place the AA battery in the firebox with a switch, and ran the hot lead through a boiler fill/ clack valve into the smoke box. Then protected it with model

Re: gte has first run

I have a similar problem with a tree. The rather large pine has decided to lay over to the side while it was young during several different wet windy winters. This has lifted the track on the root side, and made for occasional bumped heads on the other, trunk side. I'm hoping it doesn't get any

Re: Thin refractory material

Hi Royce, You may get by with material commonly used for our boiler lagging-FibreFax I think it is called. It's similar to asbestos in look/feel but a ceramic fiber product. I usually place it in my small crucible before I make a lost wax casting to protect the inner surface of the expensive
