Isn’t that the other way around, Russ?
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a slide valve engine with the outside steam pipes from smokebox to the top of the valves.
There were a few inside admission K27’s without the outside steam pipes. Very strange looking.

Re: Rail Bender
If you do not roll your aluminum rail, and use the light aluminum rail joiners, and do not adequately install your trackage to prevent side to side movement as it expands and contracts, you will find the rail joints will kink. If it’s slight, it may go back into position. But if enough tensile stren...

Re: Track Tamping Tools
The C&IG uses two tamping tools. First however, as mentioned above the base is adjusted, leveled and plate compacted, and relevelled as necessary, using a mirror. Track panels are laid and connected, aligned, then ballast is added. We have moved to 3/4” instead of 1/2” as it holds better, doesn’...

Re: Headlights for Diesels
Hi Greg, Nelson Reidel cut the business end off mag light flashlights and used them. Being a diesel you can use the plastic reflector with no danger of overheating like on a steam engine. He turned down the outside of the bezel so it would fit inside a 2” piece of exhaust pipe for the loco headlight...

Re: 20 and 30lb horizontial propane tanks - good deal
Just remember.
The vertical tanks are NOT designed to be operated in the horizontal position. There was an earlier thread on this.

Re: Globe & Check Valves Now Available
Santa Fe steam locos had pipe coils under wood foot boards. A valve was used to control steam flow through the piping.
