Re: Axle Pump Oddity
I use a nylon o-ring in my axle pump along with the cup. Never had a problem.

Re: CNW J class Mikado
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.

Re: CNW J class Mikado
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.
