James, does BC allow other province’s club inspections (not full professional boiler inspector) to stand as adequate for visiting people’s locos to run at BC clubs? For example, my province has an exemption for boilers under a certain horsepower that allows for club only inspection. (Apologies to OP...

Can’t help but notice the Aussie (well, Tasmanian at least) K1 Garratt pics on the wall. Nice engine! Spent some time admiring bits of one under rebuild in Boston Lodge.

Agree, the pics Chris has shown look like a very nice place to work.

Curious what is different between Australian and BC code?

Wise to make the steaming bay area first. I wouldn’t know anything about a club that took awhile to make a nice steaming bay area…

Thanks Marty, I was hoping you’d answer given your knowledge of full size K27 and 2.5” scale engines.

What happened to Henry Hosper’s Niagara?

I’ve heard the D&RGW K27 likes to off road. What minimum radius 7.5” track would be reasonable for a Mudhen?

Good to hear! Kindly let me know if and when it happens. No rush on my end.

Mike, any interest in doing the same beautiful job in 2.5” scale? K27 headlight?

^^^ I think it’s an interesting discussion, and if it inadvertently helps the OP get his thread bumped up, all the better.

Looking forward to when the Fulton 4-4-0 comes to the head of the line for drawing re-do.

Cheers,
