Re: Safety valve mufflers, limited supply in stock

All of the mufflers I had in stock are now sold. If anyone wishes to get one, let me know. I can do another run of them in the coming months.

Thanks

Re: Safety valve mufflers, limited supply in stock

I will not be able to run during the meet since the 15th is William's 13th birthday, so he is spending the day celebrating with some classmates. I can run down in the morning and bring one to you though.

Safety valve mufflers, limited supply in stock

Tested on my own locomotive, no changes to pop or reseat pressure. I have been asked several times how they work and all I can say is they do change the shrillne...

Re: Help with Superpower Detail Cross Compound Air Pump

Hi Greg, To make a air compressor effective at achieving useful air pressure, you want to minimize the dead space or volume between the air cylinder piston and the inlet and outlet check valves. Same idea is used in race car motors, where guys will mill down a set of heads a little to decrease the s...

Re: Help with Superpower Detail Cross Compound Air Pump

Hi ebtfan, I have built 5 of these compressors, using the SuperPower Detail casings, with the exception of the top head. I chose to make my own top head assemblies after considerable effort to make the Super Power head casting work failed. Videos of two of these compressors can be found here; https:...
