The Home Machinist!

Fender, just curious ...what do you use for boiler treatment? Timmy

"Plumber's Cleavage"...Duluth Trading Post makes a T shirt for just such a situation

Dave, That is the beauty of the Junk Drawer...you can post whatever you like! Personally, I'm fascinated by ship wrecks.

Take care and cool, Timmy

Steve, please post how the thinner fire and sifted coal work out. Thanks, Timmy

Thanks. My locomotive is on a high carbon diet.

Do you happen to know the corn starch to coal dust ratio? Thanks, Timmy

No problem here.

Fred, will this engine have a headlight or a lantern for night running? Do you know of anyone who has produced the English style (moveable) lantern? It seems the quarry style engine were especially prone to having them. (they were often mounted on the front beam on the drivers side). Thanks, Timmy

Can you post a picture of the final installation? Thanks, Timmy

What is the manufacturer/name of the red paint? It is perfect for that caboose! Timmy

Interesting thought...the sparks and cinders are probably not to scale.

Was this priced in dollars or British Pounds? (Euros) Anyone ever see this loco running? http://www.stationroadsteam.co.uk/Stafford.htm It is a British design that is sole RTR for about $14,500.00 I wish someone would produce something like this in an American design for a price this low (or lower).
