Hello Everyone,
I've noticed that at least one of our listers (Vance) has built a
"false" firebox for their Ruby. It seams to really add to the appearance
of the engine so I built one as well. I am quite dissatisfied with the
outcome of mine though. I have rivet detail and painted it silver
Hello Everyone,
I hate to bring this up again, but I don't believe that we ever
discussed this particular topic.
I want to add a servo to the steam regulator on my Ruby. While I was
messing with the servo on the Johnson Bar, I noticed that the servo has
much more travel than the valve action
Trent,
First thing to do is have a look at a drawing or photo of a bare boiler. This is
what you want to reproduce somehow. The front of the cab was typically set
somewhere behind the front of the firebox, so you should (could) have some
of the throatplate of the firebox sticking out in
Mount the link as close as possible to the center (pivot point) on the
servo, and connect the other end of the link as far out on the arm of the
Johnson bar as necessary so that normal servo rotation limits (typically 45
degrees each side of center) match the required throw of the J bar.
Hi Trent,
On my ruby I used a piece of 5/16" brass tubing over the Johnson bar, then
the connecting rod passes thru the brass tube about 2" above the floor of the
cab.
By extending the length of the Johnson bar this makes it easier to control
the amount of throw of the servo by using the
To the List,
I would appreciate some advice about firebox stays in a coal-fired boiler.
Model coal-fired boiler documentation that I have seen shows the use of
firebox stays.
I will assume that whether model or prototype the stays are there to keep
the sides of the firebox from bulging because

Steve,
First, your assumptions about stays are correct. Next, the general
rule is that tubular and orbular vessels (as in pipe and tube, and balls)
are self-staying,

I am new to the list and have been looking for a locomotive project. I have
seen several references to the G1MRA project loco. Could someone please
give me information on how to get a copy of the book or other documentation
on this project.
