Re: Good steamers for beginners, any advice?
GhettoFab, Bittercreek does not have a high line or dual guage unfortunately. But I do highly recommend visiting when you get a chance. Karl is a great guy as are the regular crew that is frequently out there. I have visited twice and am too a newcomer. I currently am working on a 1.5" electric...

Re: 2-8-0 Consolidation 2 1/2 Scale
I do not have any first hand knowledge but a new friend met at bitter creek western a couple weeks ago could probably give me some for you as he has the #4 engine in that set. I will drop him a line and see what I can learn for ya. BTW I got to see that bumble bee run during that narrow guage meet a...

Re: Help
Locoray,
I visited them not long ago and the owner had stated there were issues with emails not getting through due to a situation as Greg had stated. I had sent them something like 4-5 before they got back to me.

Re: Bobber Caboose
Looking great as always Jack. It was great meeting you at Bitter Creek last weekend. If Jack had an apprentice position I would be standing in line for sure. I got the chance to see some of Jacks work in person last weekend and all I can say is awesome.

Re: AUXILIARY RESIVOIR
I can vouch for the bottle trainman has chosen for his air tank reservoir. It will probably last a good long while before he has any issues with it. Those tanks are mostly run at 80psi in the model aircraft world as that is the operating psi for most air retracts. So him running it at 70psi just may...

Re: Eectric Conversion
Oh forgot to mention a quick search of Ebay shows several of the 24v 250W motors used on there for $17 to $26 each plus about $12 shipping. If you get them from the same seller they might even give you a break on shipping. Just go on there and type in 24v 250W electric motor and all the ones I found...

Re: Eectric Conversion
I know from research I have done that there are places you can go online that have DC motors for conversions at varying prices. I know Plum Cove Studios has some motors plus there are various other sites that either offer conversion services. Roy Stevens from RideTrains has an article on his website...

Re: Bitter Creek July 4 meet story and photos

But I am actually now going to be heading to Phoenix to pick up my new Loco chassis and car bodies :mrgreen: . If I can get the trip done early enough (late July) I mi...

I helped Karl and the others unload Jerry from Maricopa Live Steamers when he got there on thursday. I am new to the boards and large scal...
