Re: GGLS President Jim Dameron Passes !!
This is hard one for me. Mr. Dameron and I have shared an uncountable number of precious memories. During the most difficult time of my life, he served not only as a friend, but as a fatherly figure in addition to several others including our own Postwarbob. My heart goes out to Jim's family and fri...

Re: Wanted: Vertical boiler
Thank you Jim for your post. The size I am after is a bit larger. More like 10" dia x 18ish" tall. Much thanks for the feedback. The hunt is still on .

Wanted: Vertical boiler
I am looking to see if anyone has a vertical boiler similar in size to the Maynard Clishay boiler that they are willing to part with. It is not going on a clishay, but I figured that size is a good reference. Fuel set up doesn't matter to me at this stage. As long as it is physically sound, I'd be h...

Re: Al Kollmar's 3/4" Scale Pacific
Michael, Quite the gentleman we have here. Openly raining on every single thing I try to do. I have repaired my boiler and hydro tested it to the required pressure of 150% operating pressure. Please leave me alone and let me complete something undisturbed by you for once. I made a mistake and I am e...

Al Kollmar's 3/4" Scale Pacific
Here is a locomotive that I hate to see go. It is a 3/4" scale New York Central Pacific built by Al Kollmar of Buffalo, New York. Constructed in the mid 50's, it still remains solid and operational. I am aware that there are members of this forum that are familiar with this locomotive. Would be...

WTB: Little Engines 1.5" Scale Atlantic Chassis
Hi all, I am in the proces of designing a free lance Atlantic which I plan on basing off of the LE 1.5" scale chassis. I am putting this out there to see if anyone has a chassis in fairly complete condition that they are willing to part with. It would be a huge help. Thanks a bunch. I will try ...

Hidden Propane
Hi all, Im trying to come up with a clever way to hide 10 gallons of propane for a 7.5" gauge pacific. The current set up has a 5 gallon vertical tank sticking up out of the tender water. It doesnt look very good as you can probably imagine. The locomotive needs 10 gallons in order to make it l...

Re: Oil Burner
Corey,
can we see a photo of it either outside of the firebox or well lit with no oil fire in it? That would be very helpful. Looks like a fantastic design.

Re: Oil Burner
This post got me interested. I have been working on an oil burning system for an elderly friend's Pacific. He fired full size for SP starting as a teenager and has had throttle time on many Cab Forwards in Oakland CA. While he is fully capable of firing a standard atomizing burner, I just feel a vap...

Steam/Air Bell...
Hi all, I have an EMD air bell off of a retired Amtrak locomotive. I have this bell but I havent decided where I want its final home to be. Right now it is inside my 1.5" scale box car and makes the car dance every time I run it on air :mrgreen: . I had the thought of running it on steam. I've ...

Re: Age appropriate training.
Consider this: I am just shy of 17 years old and I am responsible for the training of fellow members, young and old, on all of our club equipment at the Golden Gate Live Steamers. I'm flattered by the fact that the adults at the club don't mind being my students when I don't even meet the legal age ...
