Jeff, You have the right idea. The lubricator would have to be moved as I wouldn't want the "superheated" line under the boiler cooking the oil as it proceeds to the cylinders. Of course, the line could be moved but I like the concept of heating the line. There is an awful lot of condensation with the Ruby compared to any other loco I own. Anyway, I am seriously considering the project.
Now the Daylight, I am sure, would be a major project, quite a challenge!! Thanks for your input. Geoff. Geoff, never tought about that before, but I think you may be on to >something with the "C" type boiler. building the firebox and chicken feed >spirit system should not be to hard. I'm already starting to think about >that Daylight that Accucraft is talking about. I was ready to write it off >because I'm sure they will gas fire it. but there may be hope yet. ..Aster >K-4's Hudsons,.....hmmmm lota of possibilities. has anyone ever tried this >before? >Jeff in NC >
