Gordon,
Thank you for the personal attention and recommendations for a coal-fired
4-4-0 design. Your insight into frame rigidity and weight distribution are
not things that would be obvious to a tyro. If I can get to Diamondhead I
would be honored to have a beer with you.
Wheels indeed are a
There were only two 4-4-0's in the 21 drawings that I looked at. One was a
tiny Mt. Gretna loco with 34 drivers, which scale to ~45mm dia. at 1:20.
The other 4-4-0 was VT #25 with 62 drivers.
Steve,
Even these drawings are not of much use for 1:20.3. The Mt. Gretna loco was a
2-footer,
Hi Vance,
I realized the differences in gauges and corresponding proportions. One
purpose of the exercise was just to see how various prototypes, when scaled
to a 1:20 model, would compare to existing models and parts with which I was
familiar.
Thank you for the recommendations. I will look for
Gordon mentioned earlier in this thread that one source of wheel castings
has dried up with the demise of Locosteam in the UK.
However any gap is pretty well covered by the ranges available from Walsall
from Mark Wood.
The latter certainly has some 'ng' wheel castings suitable for US ng, ie
The last time I looked at the Woods product list, the only US narrow gauge
casting he had was for the C-16. That's good, but it doesn't cover much
territory. Has he expanded the narrow gauge line?

Holy cow! Ok, has anyone done this to a Ruby yet, or will I have to be the
first? I really want to do it but have yet to get any SS mesh.
Also, anyone know where this is readily available from? I know I can get
it from SSSM but I have this thing about being able to bring stuff home
_now_.
Hello Bruce,
The Butt Paste Band? Is this in addition to the Clack Valves? Sounds fun!
My car for the Butt Paste Train has changed designs mid stream. I got a brain

Chuck,
Midwest's Heritage steam engine is supplied with the boiler already soldered
and the one-cylinder engine pre-assembled. The engine frame is a bronze
casting. The boiler includes a safety valve. I do not know the specific type
of solder or brazing material that is used on the boiler.

Locomotive, but some of us beginner types are still trying to catch up
here. Sounds like that was a project published in Steam in the Garden,
or somewhere similar. Can I get a reference, or information on where to

Are the drawings available for the DGRS project loco that was pictured at

Looks like an interesting project.
