Re: Sweet Creek Mogul Boiler Question
Really need some clarification here. Both Glenn and I tend to be around boilers that are larger than the typical live steam boiler and, in my case, public running. Here in NJ, over some minimal square feet of heating surface and a state inspection is required if running in public. A Cagney sized loc...

Re: Sweet Creek Mogul Boiler Question
That is true, but I did go and find the paper work and confirmed that it was inspected and signed off on by the Colorado boiler inspector. The attached inspection sheet shows the inspection trail of the construction of the boiler. To me the difference is state versus federal inspections - state can ...

Re: Sweet Creek Mogul Boiler Question
To modify the boiler to meet my needs looks to be cost prohibitive. It's too long by about six inches. Can’t win. If someone would like to buy it, let me know. Open to offers. It’s located in Cheyenne, WY at the moment but at some point it will be moved to NJ.

Sweet Creek Mogul Boiler Question
Any RMI Sweet Creek mogul builders or owners who may need a new code boiler? I stumbled onto what I think is a boiler for a Sweet Creek and before I try to make some kind of use for it, thought I would see if someone might have a need for it. I have the NBIC paperwork for it. Happy to work with some...

Re: Using channel iron for sleepers
In the 24” gauge and up world, steel ties are available. Railworks is one of the newer ones I have seen come up with some creative steel replacements for wood ties, but Kimes Steel has the more traditional steel ties with clips to hold the rail in place. I have used these in 3’ gauge. Locally a priv...

I think I have a set of castings. Interested? Too late?

Horizontal Steam Engine
Maybe a little off topic, but I am cleaning out here a little. This is a nice little horizontal steam engine I picked up a few years ago with the intent to replace the broken cross head guide/rear cylinder head which had broken prior to me picking it up. Flywheel is about 5" diameter with a nea...

1/2" Scale Locomotive Projects ****SOLD****
Its time to thin the collection a little. Looking to sell a collection of 1/2" scale, 2-1/2" gauge, locomotive projects to include a Little Engines Northern which is a fairly complete chassis but needs finishing, a Little Engines Hudson incomplete chassis, and what may be a Coventry Pacifi...

Re: 12” gauge DRGW Inspired RR
Interestingly, at least to me anyway, this not only applies to live steam/large scale, but it can also apply to full size equipment. I have had a couple of 3’ gauge locomotives over the years and there are few options as to a place to run such things, yet 2’ gauge offers plenty of options, and then ...

Re: 12” gauge DRGW Inspired RR
As to gauge, while you may not be visiting other tracks, I would keep re-sale in mind. At some point, the equipment will be put up for sale either by you years from now or perhaps by an estate sale. Depressing to think about perhaps, but good to keep in mind. I would tend to focus on a gauge that is...

Just sent you a message. Look forward to talking to you.
As to the lap seam, NJ allows them. I would prefer a proper fitting boiler though and one that could be used in any state.
