The Home Machinist!

From an engineering and modeling stand point, that is impressive and super cool. When you created the final model with the risers, did you end up going with different scale factors in the X, Y, and Z directions to account for more/less shrinkage in those direction when cooling? The foundry setup up...

The cradle for the 1.6 scale Chicago North Western J class Mikado will be investment cast in Silicon Bronze. The print is 1.5 times the price for the casting itself. It is 13.14" wide, 7.86" tall with the casting spurs. And 25.52" long. The locomotive uses an early style Coles trailing truck.

That is a load Dave.

Thank you Jack.

I am looking for a Detroit Lubricator Catalog 361 that deals with the type B lubricator. I will buy or pay to have scanned.

Thanks

I have the installation drawing for the mount that was used on the Pacifics.

Tim

Yes the leak will give you a false reading.

Tim

That would be neat.

I have been working on the design of the Hancock H-N-L Inspirator. I am getting very close.

The waist sheets showed up today. I had to put them on to see how they fit.
