Re: Series 1 Boss head rebuild
Bill, plenty of stuff on Series 1, 2HP VS J heads, not a single thing on CNC V-Ram heads. Have not even seen a parts list much less any known availability.

Re: MicroKinetics
I use a Grizzly 12x36 gunsmith lathe with the Microkinetics 12x36 conversion, Microkinetics 6 position tool turret, Grizzly collet closer converted to pneumatic operation, bar puller mounted in the turret. Write the code and you have completely automated parts production, you sweep chips and pick up...

Re: Series 1 Boss head rebuild
Thanks Bill, that's what I have heard. I want to get whatever documentation possible to be ready in the future to open this thing up and do a complete service and rebuild. I have heard the quill is a real booger to deal with.

Re: Mad notions
Using that same notion, couldn't a sub chassis of this sort with rollers like you would use in running in the shop be fashioned except one pair of rollers off the drivers would belt drive the chassis axel? Couldn't this apply to any locomotive so they could be driven down main street in a parade on ...

Oops, sorry I mistook your signature line as the final comment on the condition of that boiler.

Re: Necessity of hardened crank pins on 3/4” scale
"0.010" clearance then up to the next 1/64 size drill is a good place to start."
That much?
When going up to the next 1/64th drill size would that be to drill, which would be then again larger than nominal, or the equivalent reamer?

Re: New York Central Baggage Car
Jack, I figured you would probably put a layer of thin deck cloth on it. We use a trick on full scale composite aircraft where we put on a layer of thin Dacron over the last layer of glass cloth without adding any more epoxy resin, we squeegee it down to get off any excess resin and make sure the Da...

Re: New York Central Baggage Car
Jack, I'm surprised the door skins didn't delaminate and buckle. Cheap RC boat kits used to use that stuff and if you got a scratch through the paint or a crack the whole thing would delaminate. Probably the short soak time saved them? We do that sort of thing but with steam and epoxy. You do beauti...

Re: Help identify a part M-21 Mogul
Nice, I wish I still lived in Spring, TX, I'd be right there to volunteer to help!
Please feel free to keep posting pictures of the rebuild on this thread or open a builders blog in the appropriate place, either way this is the first large scale M-21 I have seen.
