I would appreciate and > knowledgable comments from experienced > boiler people. Thanks, John I don't claim to be knowledgable or experienced but what you are doing works for me. I heat the area around the stud then stick a ice cube on the stud. This seems to make the job a lot easier and doesn't take as much heat on the shell. |

> Impressive 15-inch gauge setup in the UK. > Offers a steam footplate experience course. Another bit of interesting info: the Kirklees Light Railway has fitted multiple-jet exhausts (Lempor) to several of their locomotives and has fitted simplified Gas Producer Combustion Systems (GPCS) to three. The GPCS installations resulted in reduced cinder throwing, a reduction in the formation of clinkers, and reduced fire cleaning times all of which were big benefits on this busy railway.

In an article on trainorders.com concerning the relocation of SP 2252 at Roseville, CA, the following quote appeared: "Phase I is moving the locomotive, no easy chore, considering it weighed 142,250 pounds when fully loaded. Phase II involves proper lighting at its new site, a commemorative plague, refurbishing of the engine, plus sight improvements." I'm really curious about the commemorative plague...will it be bubonic, or what? I love typos. Union Electrc of Illinois No. 3 dougb@sunserver.com |
