Has anyone installed R/C into an Excelsior yet? The rear bunker is fitted
with a R/C switch cutout as supplied and I have some ideas of what to do but
would like to see how someone has attacked the same problem. I am only
interested in controlling the throttle at this point.
Sincerely
Steve

Thanks, a completely different approach. I will examine that concept
tonight. You called it a steam stop valve which might explain how sensitive
it was to just the slightest change.

Dunno what the hash is Steve but
Bought an Excelsior today.
It has some differences over the Ruby. The Excelsior has a water drain on
the displacement lubricator, water fill is in the cab, water overflow valve
for boiler water level, knob on the throttle, small lever on the burner
control and a R/C switch
cutout in the rear
Has anyone run the Accucraft Excelsior yet. Comments? Similar to the
Ruby/Ida?

Lots of comments on the 16mm list, it's been out for several months in the
UK. Main complaints concern a loud burner, and somewhat anemic steaming
performance
the Accucraft Excelsior. This appears to be an English
model. I have not heard a word from anyone about it here in the states.
Accucraft doesn't have any info posted on their website. Is Accucraft
catering to one side of the pond and not the other?
Both - 'Ruby', et al over here, 'Excelsior' over

Kevin,
I think it was Kevin O'Connor who added crosshead guides to his Ruby. I
don't think it'll be too hard, provided you have access to a milling machine or
an X-Y table on your drill press. Doing a plunge cut with an end-mill would be
more accurate than with a twist drill, too. The main

Not the same loco. The Accucraft model is of a 30" ga prototype
ex-Bowaters Paper mill, tho it was a standard desogn and I believe 2'
versions were made.
The loco on the LB was much smaller and is/was available as a live

Yep. It's on page 7 of GardenRail (english version of our GR.) I'll see if
I can find it on the web anywhere, or I'll scan it this evening.
