I had to read it a few times to figure out what you were talking about.
And about our steamers, it's easy to blame the mfg for a poorly running loco, but if you make it yourself, it becomes a personal thing. There's no one to blame. And, by the way, the loco DOES run beautifully. It's the f**king axle pump that I haven't resolved. I'm going to send it to counseling soon. I just want to get to the point where operationally everything works so that I can actually FINISH the loco & tender cosmetically. I was thinking of offering a $100 reward to anyone who can get my axle pump to work at the NSS. But I have ONE more thing to try before filling the pump body with epoxy. See you there. royce (in SB) _______________________________________________ SSLiveSteam mailing list Send messages: [email protected] Cancel subscription: http://postfix.45mm.com/mailman/listinfo/sslivesteam Rules: http://www.45mm.com/sslivesteam_guide.html
