Re: Bad Vender Service Titan Trains

Re: New member
Anyone have photos of the brake rigging on the tender? The brakes on Warren's Mogul are backwards. When one truck is set the other is released and vice versa.

Re: New member
I'm sorry Marty, I should have specified. The tender brakes are the ones that are off. One truck is applied while the other is released and then when you release the one the other is applied. I'm thinking its the wrong pivot point.

Re: New member
We own Warren's Mogul. The brake rigging is slightly off. When you apply the brakes one brake sets while the other releases. Then when you release the brakes they switch and one is set and other is released. Could you please email brake rigging photos to mike@livesteamers.org Any help would be great...

Re: FOR SALE- Scale Allen Mogul 7 1/2 gauge with tender---SOLD---
Bobby, and Bobby Timson, we thank you again for such a beautiful locomotive. She travelled well on her way across the state. Tender light has been relocated for an engineers seat and it just needs paint and brakes adjusted. Pilot is under construction and axle pump is in the works. Hoping for New Ye...

Re: Club location
We have been located in a county park for the last 25 years. We don't pay rent and give rides to the public on the 3rd weekend of the month. The county and park manager loves having us there as its $1.50 per person to get in the park on weekends. The park is usually empty otherwise. Michael Smith Pr...

Re: Florida Winter meets
This is what I found. If anyone is interested in coming out to Tradewinds & Atlantic, please contact me at mike@livesteamers.org I can give you the address to the back gate instead of the hassle of coming through the front. We might be small but we know how to have fun at the track. 20-21 are ou...

Re: Florida Live Steamers Winter Meets 2013
Having only been in this hobby and coming from G scale (and still have all my G scale) a couple years. I can agree with everything posted about the Buckingham Central. I was invited over by friends of the Tradewinds & Atlantic for the day and we had a great time there. Arrived and were greated n...
