Joe,
Thanks for the offer. I ordered some last night, and another list
member is sending me a small bottle. Unfortunatly, I work and live 35
miles north east of Philly. At worst case, I will be going to PLS this
Saturday and I will get a little there.

Actually, that doesn't sound crazy. Any RR that maintains steam locos
for tourist rides, probably has steam oil on hand. There are several of
these RR's within two hours of my home in Harleysville, PA

I received my Ruby yesterday, can't wait to fire her up this weekend.
I'm sure you're going to have a lot of fun with her! Don't wait,
though. It will help get things running smoothly if you prop her up
with blocks under the end beams and run her several times without
any load. Put down

You forgot to tell him to buy your cab kit (he he he) :-)

Now here is a guy with self control. I would be dragging the UPS driver to
my track to witness the first run.!!! :-)
Vance,
Thanks for the tips.
I followed you on most of them, but I got a little lost when you got
into stack talk, and then the plug for the hole in to dome. Do you have
pictures of these and other mods such as the superheater?? I assume the
whistle you are referring to as an add-on to the dome
Not really, it's dark outside when I get home from work, and I'm working
12-16 hours a day right now. We are installing new MRP software, and
things are not going well. So, unfortunatly, Ruby will wait till
saturday...Plus, and I have no steam oil yet. Is there anything I can
use instead of

Nice tips Vance. Well within most of our abilities. Hey I might even
apply them to my stock Ruby. BTW My second Ruby that went to Lou
Banning now sports your cab, a leftover C-16 cow catcher, a Lionel
trailing truck, several Trackside Details parts, and a new paint job.
It's pretty spiffy.

Isn't there anyone close to this guy who could spare a little steam oil? I
would but it is a long ways from Oregon.
Doug,
I am travelling to Philadelphia to do some depositions, Thursday and
Friday. If you work in Center City Philadelphia, I might be in a
position to help you out.
Let me know tonight.
Definitely wait for steam oil!

Once again it may sound crazy, i found steam oil
through a neighbor who in turn worked the local yard
in the east bay and San Francisco. It may be that the
oil was availble as we have steams that come through
the area on special occasions, In addition we have a
steam operation in the Niles Canyon
So like, I'm here, and you're there, and stuff...
Sorry, now that that's out of the way I'll have to say that I'm _new_ to
the hobby, migrating in from electric HO practice. Currently I'm
considering which loco to make my first steamer. I don't have any
trackage layed out yet, but plan to run
Currently I'm looking the way of the Ruby. I don't car for the
inside-to-outside valve gear on the Sammie. I like somewhat complicated
things. ;) I feel it gives the loco a more realistic look as well.

Looks very well built.
Anyone have tips on what to look for, or changes that need to be made?
This is my first live steamer. I'm in Eastern PA.
