The Home Machinist!

This, while expensive is the best oiler I have ever used. Works sideways, upside down, etc...

Is he not selling them currently?

"Lastly, only Niagara-LaSalle makes genuine Stressproof. Stressproof starts out as C1144, but C1144 is not Stressproof. Keep that in mind if you decide to go that route so you don't get sold the wrong material."

I didn't know this...so is there a good source for the "real stuff"?

RussN,

You are lucky with the Locoparts kits...I can't get a reply from them about a kit for my tender which I would love to send them money for! I will have to make one of my own and brass will be my choice, despite the cost.

Thanks for the info on this superb locomotive. I'd love to see it one day.

Steamin,

This is EXACTLY what I wanted, thanks! Just for the heck of it I looked at online metals, a 12" x 36" .25 brass plate is $354. Plus shipping is probably a good chunk too!

Again, thanks for the pics, just what I wanted to see.

Yes I did, I just would like to see a couple more pics. At this point maybe its better I never see it, I will just use the prototype drawings!

John,
I never heard from anyone. I will have to fab one. I have the prototype drawings, I simply wanted to see what the casting looks like from all sides to give me an idea.

Cobalt drills work great, we drill tons of 304 at work with them. Today however I have to try and remove a broken 0-80 tap in a blind hole in a piece of titanium that has about 40 hours of machine work in it!

Yeah I wouls want the weight too...a friend just got a a couple thousand pounds of 304 plate drops...maybe that is what I should use.

Nobody has one of these? I'd really like to see a couple of pictures!
