The Home Machinist!

Segue? This locomotive is a variation of the camelback built on the MERCER A5. I bought it in its current configuration and it didn’t come with prints. I was hoping that somebody that’s tackled this variation could lend some expertise.

I’m also curious if the diameter of the stack is part of the problem.

This is a somewhat old picture. It has a petticoat now but it’s an exhaust adapter cut down to the flare and wrapped around the outside of the petticoat pipe. I think that the steam is catching the bottom of the petticoat pipe inside of the petticoat and causing a problem. I’ll try to get an updated...

I’d like to see how the front end is set up on his engine. I have a similar engine and it steams poorly from start up to going around the Railroad.

Rail Systems SD35? Sure its not Railroad Supply?

I have one of these. It comes with an aluminum bushing for the user to machine down as an adapter to fit different size smoke stacks.

Where can I find more of these or similar cylinder cocks?
