Re: Restoring a modified Allen 2-4-0 barn find
As for the propane burner being too high in the firebox, a better burner would be with slots or holes in the horizontal tubes. But then you would need an air/fuel mixing tube, and where would that go? So just assume it will work as installed. I was very interested in this style of burner for a whil...

Re: Restoring a modified Allen 2-4-0 barn find
When I first purchased the locomotive, one of the rocker arms for the valve rod broke at the pin. When we looked closely, it appeared the slop in the gear had allowed the rocker arm to extend a bit farther in its travel, slamming into the crosshead guide yoke. Our solution at the time was to re-atta...

Re: Restoring a modified Allen 2-4-0 barn find
So last time we talk you were fighting the surface of the cylinder mating to the saddle. What did you do to fixing it? Steve Pieces of .010 stainless shim did the trick. Then it was on to the valve gear. I had a massive amount of valve rod slop when running the locomotive last year, so I knew I'd n...

Re: Restoring a modified Allen 2-4-0 barn find
20180217_195752.jpg Besides resurfacing the valve faces, I spent some time this week cleaning up each cylinder and the associated corrosion buildup between the saddle. In fact it caused the cylinders to spread apart so far on the frame that I suspect it broke the exhaust line solder joints on the b...

Re: Super Scale
I agree there will be others to take up the torch left by Barry. Someone mentioned Eccentric Engineer. Anthony is a young man in his twenties who is passionate about making the highest quality injectors that in my opinion exceed the performance of Superscale. And his product line is expanding all th...

Re: Restoring a modified Allen 2-4-0 barn find
20180106_174316.jpg These cylinders looked pretty worn and rust damaged with deep pitting. We lapped them on 120 and 220 grit sandpaper taped to float glass and 3 hours later, didn't have much to show for our efforts other than sore muscles. I also noticed the valve face was wearing more on the edg...
