I have posted this stuff before in live steam forum.
Here is a Linkhttp://www.chaski.org/homemachinist/vie ... =8&t=99980
To find out what it is. Since then I have found out it is indeed from a 999 that Leo Meyer - Neil Pittneger had started on. I have talked to Joel and he has castings - prints. Other info on this locomotive.

As for if the boiler was built in a Monsanto shop. I have not confirmed.
But would guess it was. As my camel back had the flues silver soidered.
Also Joel's boiler had them silver soidered in.

I can confirm that the boiler was hydro tested to 200 lbs and had no leaks what so ever. The tubes have been silver soldered in. If you do decide to purchase this boiler,castings. And flat steel.We can pressure test the boiler to any pressure you would like before buying.

Reduced $1,400 for Every thing that I have for the 999 Locomotive. I would like for the buyer to pick up.

Forgive me if call something by the wrong name. Brass - bronze axle bushings.

The 2 other cast items I believe go on the back side of the piston castings for the seals. Where the drive Pistons rods are.

Ok I was asked about the bore and stroke of the of the cylinders. I have know idea but I did take some photos. I think it is 2 inch bore. And the length of the cylinder is 4 3/8. Which I don't now what the stroke would be. Reduced to $1,800. There is 13 small wheels. Even though the photo shows 11.
