Sandy River #24 Modifications

[steve speck]

Hello Group,  I had been hearing rumors that Roundhouse was planning some 
changes on the #24.  I E mailed them and this was the reply:
                   They are revamping the SR&RL #24  and springing the 
chassis.  The springs will give up and down movement only.  Will help the 
model hold the track better and should increase the weight it can pull a 
little.  The tender will be non-water carrying,  as is the Fowlers,  and a 
water top up system similar to the Darjeeling will be fitted that allows 
the boiler to be topped up using a pump bottle.  This system cannot be 
fitted to older SR&RL #24's without replacing the complete boiler.

Thought some might be interested,    Steve Speck
