Re: A wish list for large scale castings
Using a small printer isn't too bad. This was done with four pieces glued together to make one pattern netting a pattern more than twice the size of the printer bed. There was of course a cope side and then a drag side. The original drawing was of one half only...printed, then a mirror was printed.....

Re: Nusky/Mercer 0-4-0 driver width?
Is the narrower driver on the wider guage to help prevent having to move side rods, valve gear or perhaps cylinder outboard? Or in other words having a narrower driver causes the flanges to be further apart by default.

Re: Axle pump feed water
No, the problem we are having is I left the parts in the vinegar too long. I ordered two cups from Superscale and that seemed to help, but I should have ordered two stems at the same time and I didn't. But, now that you mention it, I am suspicious. It dosen't seem like the flow overboard with the st...

Re: Axle pump feed water
I've been allowed to take my friends Mogul out many times, and have had to push her back in twice, because I have caused his superscale injector to become erratic and I can't get repair parts for it. Were it not for the axle pump, I would never have gotten out the chute. The tender hand pump.... onl...
