New England Steam Corporation
Hi, I am not a representative of them. Nor have they asked me to help. Yet I would like to get the word out about a locomotive we would like to see restored.

Re: Ignitor circuit for oil burning Mikado?
Wow! $20 for a Model T Coil is cheap!
Back in the 1980's when I was doing my Model T, coils were $50 apiece!

Re: Railroad Supply?
If you do go pound on his door. Be polite and offer to help him, he is usually backlogged with work.
I think I ran a drill press for him making stainless grates. Or at least it was repetitive drilling in stainless steel.

Re: Turbulators
Jesse Livingstone wanted to create some turbulators for one of his locomotives. He showed pictures of a couple of messes he had and wondered if anyone had any ideas as to how he could make some in copper.
