Re: steam/airpump question

Pump Should NOT! stall no matter what. This means it has no H.P. on the outlet side. Make sure "O" rings are fitted properly. They should have a slight load on O.D., They shouldn`t fall into the bores.

Re: A good reliable injector for inch & half scale that works ????

This is not a small scale engine. I think @ the least 2" scale. More than likely clogged with scale.

Re: steam/airpump question

Umbrellas are just checks, have a look @ pumping pistons and "O" rings. With zero pressure I tend to think fit and finish. And check Steam end as well. The pump will still go up and down , but, create no power.

Re: Iron Horse Supply Corp has website!

I have tried to make contact without any response, is this a part time venture? I think having a website you would have a phone # contact as well?

Re: Vincent Astor's railroad

He must have sat on tender. Funky looking tender for sure. Main rod with an offset ? Was this built by Holt or Pinkham ? 3 1/2" on the ground in the thirties. Any markings on any of the castings? Saddle, valve chests, cylinders.
