Re: New Tender Tank Kits
For those who want longer tenders for the larger steam engines, check out Locoparts. He has them.

Re: Night Running & Lights?

Trailer tires tend to take a beating and are subject to things vehicle tires are not. On a multiple axle trailer the tires are being dragged sideways on every turn which is hard on the tread. Trailer tires are much more likely to be banging into curbs which is hard on sidewalls. And yes, most of the...

Re: Arch between engine stand and P/U
Regarding the aluminum pan from Big Boots. I have had engines weighing close to 1000 pound on the pan without problems. With the turned up edges it is surprisingly strong.

Re: Arch between engine stand and P/U
I would suggest a aluminum pan like what the Big Boots & Western RR in Florida is selling. You can see it on Discover Live Steam. I have one and it works well.

Regarding tender design and propane, I would vote for carrying the tank(s) in the first car behind the tender. The need for supplying external heat to assist in vaporization in the tank will depend on ambient temperature and how fast you are drawing propane from the tank. It has been my experience r...
