Re: Train brakes for the little Mogul
Happy to help, Ray. I like Clippard, and use their stuff. However, their shipping fee is steep, especially when ordering a single item. I try to group my purchases from them. Here is another possible solution - these tanks hold around 3000psi for paintball guns. I have a couple extra tanks, and migh...

Re: Train brakes for the little Mogul
I decided to use ABS pipe for my brakes on the electric & my LE mogul, max 60 psi. Works well. For those concerned with plastic pipe failure, Clippard offers stainless steel air tanks (link provided).

Train Mountain: 42-car Mixed Manifest
I decided to squeeze in one last trip to Train Mountain prior to the kids returning to school. While there, we decided to "go big" by rounding everything up that was set out in the main yard, and go for a ride. This video is the end result. We only had three derailments while on the mainli...

Re: Watch me cut my boiler in half! **Part 2 just added 3/
My only question is, how dead was the lawn after rinsing out the CLR and was the better half upset? Hah! That's some great work, well done. Thanks. The CLR went back into the containers they came in, so the only stuff that went into the lawn was CLR residual, and Simple Green HD. What killed my law...

Re: Watch me cut my boiler in half! **Part 2 just added 3/
after looking at the video again: I have a suggestion regarding reaming of the holes in preparation for rolling. Getting the chucking reamer started correctly is a bit of a chore as you can see. BRIDGE REAMERS are much easier to get started and are just fine for rolled tubes . Well worth the $$$ to...
