Re: old photos
Old photos. Wow..., I gotta' get into the garage and back to work on my 0-4-0T but here are a few old photos from the Golden Gate Live Steamers. This set will be from the elevated track at Redwood Regional Park. Golden Spike for the elevated track was in 1950 and late 1962 for the ground track. This...

Re: Little Engines Closed
Little Engines 0-4-0T "Harley," a fairly recent build of 2015, wishes Little Engines well. Harley had a tough start but is running pretty well now. His latest updates are a stainless steel saddle tank and a steam powered water pump.

Re: C&S No. 10 Returns to the Rails
Wonderful restoration of a very handsome train Anthony! The detail is simply fabulous! I loved the photography too, can I ask what sort of camera you used for the interior shots?

Propane: Low Pressure Type 2?
For too long I've been merrily steaming along only to be suddenly shutdown by a wimpy yellow propane flame in the firebox. I thought this had been due to propane changing from a liquid to a vapor and the associated pressure drop due to cooling. Please see the first photo before considering flaming m...

Re: 2-6-6-6 Allegheny Boiler Questions
As stated above, Andy Clerici completed an Allegheny back in the early 1980s. According to his write-up, he used 35 @ 1" OD, 27/32" ID by 52" long. I was going to upload the 3.5MB "low resolution" version of the write-up but it was apparently too large (Chesapeake and Ohio H...

Re: Silver soldering torches
Youtube hobby machinist Blondihacks (Quinn Dunki) is starting with the boiler of a 3-1/2" gauge 0-4-0 switcher. I am really enjoying it and will be happy when it passes its boiler test. She talks about the silver soldering equipment she's using in Part 1 starting at 14:55. See: https://www.yout...

Their Facebook page is at: https://www.facebook.com/RedwoodEmpireLiveSteamers . I don't have a Facebook account either but I can still scroll down the page using the standard "elevator shaft" allowing me to view content. I can also select "Photos" from the left column and then s...
