They may have come with the castings for the engine from England. I think similar shoes are available here.Kimball McGinley wrote:Can you tell me about those brakeshoes? I am looking for some like that!

The last thing was to finish the brakes. I made the links to connect the brake hanger to the brake shaft. Bill brought an Ohlenkamp injector with him on Wed. and we plumbed it up before he left for home.
He took it to the Manatee track in Parish, Fl. last weekend and I got a lot of reports that it was running fine all weekend. Good news.

Re: Romulus build
Yes, Fred has done wonderful work on Romulus and we down in Sarasota thank him sincerely! We ran it for three days at the Parrish Florida Live Steam meet with a borrowed tender. Bill Yoder
Re: Romulus build
Hi Fred, do you have a drawing of your cylinder cocks. Looks like they would be a good fit for my loco.
Thanks Jim
No problems just solutions.
