Since I had the ALCO type E power reserve cast I no longer need the David Moore type H power reserve castings. Untouched and with drawings $300 plus shipping.

I use a nylon o-ring in my axle pump along with the cup. Never had a problem.

I received the 14 castings for the ALCO type E power reserve. There are lots of projects to work on.

Mike was at the Ridge Live Steamers Winter Meet last month.

And this locomotive will have lots of it. I was just informed that the castings for the type E power reserve are. Once the weather clears up the foundry will send them.

The C&NW used flange unions on the plumbing. I was expecting to to have to make them. But when I asked Dave for the drawings of the threads we both found out that Berry already thought of it. Here is what they look like. You can get them from Super Scale.

Hi Ken

I need to make some adjustments to fit the Sprayberry USRA hopper cars.

I will post when they are ready.

Here are some pictures.

I have received some of the castings for the Coles trailing truck. I have been working on them so I can show progress.

I need to resize some pictures so I can post them here.

Tim

Can you please provide pictures of the project.

Hi

I have done it using the Repro the Dave Trainman used and it works great.
