Re: Clippard Cylinder for PSC Dummy Brake Cylinder
Thank you Bob! The short answer is yes and no. I ordered sleeve bearings to center the cylinders in the dummies. I also started on the push rods for the brake cylinders but I've determined that cutting threads on them with a die won't cut it, so I'm going to have to learn how to cut threads on my la...

Re: Air Brake Question
Are those the ones that are for sale on DLS? What's the operational lifespan been on the O-Rings? Have they ever let go without a train separation?

Re: GGLS member "Bill Brower"
Fascinating. Does it have to lay down some kind of solvent ahead of the brushes in order to clean properly?

Re: "What, me worry?"
Semantics are overrated, changing one term can make a very nuanced but significant change in the meaning of that statement.
