Re: Smokebox Length Ratio
Hello steamers, please take into consideration that some boilers got longer than necessary due to length of big locomotives as UP 4000s.

Re: Nathan 4000C's in 1.5" Scale
Anthony,

Looking forward to your process!
And not to forget, whish you a better New Year!

Re: Nathan 4000C's in 1.5" Scale
Hello Anthony, Watching your topic with great interest! This type of injector seems to me the most desirable due to the combined water and steam valves 8) What a pitty to me, that it won't realy fit to my A 1239 of scale 1 in 10 :( Thank you for posting those rich details of this masterpiece!

Re: First Steaming of "A Long Term Project"
Hello Steve,
Thanks for showing your video! You built an engine, which looks and performs well
For a short time I wondered if you would run it on that very short piece of a track
, but all was safe.
Good luck and be happy

Re: Future considerations from EE
I would like the Nathan top mount dual check valves. The N&W used these on a lot of their equipment. Pontiacguy1, You're right!

Re: Nathan 1918A's are in Production
Hello Anthony,
Good to read your news regarding those superb injectors!
Looking forward to those Nathan 4000s, too

Carry on!
