Re: 2 1/2" scale 4-6-0 build

Re: Ed Woodings
I have two stories about Ed Woodings. He had his 1" Atlantic at the New Jersey Live Steamers. He mentioned he was building a T-1. I said I always liked them, and I rode behind 2124. He gave me a withering look and said 'I am building a PENNSY T-1!' After I left New Jersey I didn't see him for y...

Re: Ulin Locmotive k-27
Just be aware that you are in the land of a full TSSA boiler for something like that...it's quite a bit bigger than the DHR D class boiler that I absconded from Ontario with, (right at the 10 sq ft mark) or the 4' Fowler that drew ire of TSSA.

Re: Boiler welding advice.
You said you ordered the steel for your boiler but didn't mention what specification.

Re: Steam engine sheet metal chimney base replacement
You don't need a machinist, you need a tin knocker(sheet metal worker).
