I know there is a market out there. It may be slow at first but the this end of the hobby is growing and we all know the worst thing that can happen is running a boiler dry. Even though I like to fill my boiler and tend to my engines I don't care to have to do it every 20-30 minutes. Anything to extend the run times of these engines would be a big benefit. Also we have a club here in Arizona that like to run schedules and do switching and whatnot. It's looks fun but because of the short run times and the fact that my engine usually run out of steam in the middle of a run, I can't participate. Chad

I’m thinking of starting a small business making components for Gauge one live steam locomotives. A few examples are a check valve and an axle drive pump with built in bypass valve. I could also design and build custom components. I’m taking a simple survey to see if there is a market for this kind of work. If you have any comments, or you’re might be looking for any of these or other components now or in the future, please respond to me offline. Ray
