:bow: :bow: :bow: That valve looks right at home on the steam ship I volunteer one !! WONDERFUL !!!

Very interesting and cool vid to watch, THANKS !! I've got a couple of books (512 movements or something like that) that show many of those movements, but makes much more sense to see them in action ! I recognize many of the movements from steam engines, locomotives, clock escapements, but...

I posted Wayne's video so we can all see it easier. Nice runner, especially going slow !! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiKrI0q_FhQ

Welcome Ed, I'm also from SoCal, next to LAX. Welcome aboard !! Mike

http://homepage2.nifty.com/modelicengine/ WOW !! That Paz guy sure is an artist !! Great tutorial on his making those tubes/manifold :)

For those of you that worship at the Steam Cathedral, that's from the Steam Bible book - Revelations ::) :P

Gerry - I don't know if you've seen this or this is your doing, but your plans are for sale on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Beam-Steam-Engine-Plans-/320809365166?pt=Model_RR_Trains&hash=item4ab1ba6eae Thought you'd want to know in case this is not you who put them on eBay. Mike

...supplied with oil from a reservoir containing waste cotton that holds the oil. The cotton waste (basically torn up cotton rags) serves to prevent the oil from splashing about and wicks it to the axle/journal surfaces. I too am fascinated by steam locomotive power, not that my user name gives...

I just received my vise castings last week ! Add to my list of stuff to build :P P.S. paid via PayPal and shipping was very quick !

At the local community college, the shop classes have been more full then ever in the last few years. A lot of that has to do with the economy. People would rather be students then sitting out-of-work. I completed the machinist/CNC certificates cause I had taken enough shop classes to qualify...

Nice job so far !! I have either the 10V or 10H to build. Don't know what's in my closet anymore :D Mike

Thanks Marv, that filing rest from Steamer is pretty clever !

Cool !! Had never heard of this technique before. Once you look at it, it makes perfect sense. Simple and very handy !! Mike

th_confused0052 th_confused0052 th_confused0052 Thm: :bow::bow::bow::bow::bow::bow: WOW !! Now if only they'd get them running on gas !!

Thm: Very nicely done ! Great slow runner too. Congrats to both of you !! :)

I just looked at the plans from Sherline's Tabletop Machining book. You're right, it doesn't show how deep those port holes should be. I had previously built a another wobbler, so yeah, that helped figure out that those holes just need to intersect with the port tube holes. I found all my...

Hey Wong - I see you found me here after your YouTube comment ! This is a nice place to hang out ! Great buncha folks and TONS of machining knowledge & tips :) Yes, I'll have to dig them up. Been meaning to post a build log (mistakes and all) since last year, time escape me lately :P Like...
