Building a LE Mogul. What are the rear boiler supports? I don’t see any in the plans. Thanks
Dear sir,
I refer to your website re:timing stevenson valve gear.I have a problem in that
I cannot view your diagrams or jpgs of this article.I have built a 5″gauge live
steamer, an A10 loco.(Australian).I feel this article would be invaluable as I am
in the stages of completion.maybe a direct link to jpgs or emailed attachment.
Your response to this request would be most appreciated.
With Many Thanks
Russ Bonser
I would appreciate your listing our web site.
Thanks jim
Fr. Jay,
I think it was 10 or 12 years ago when we visited you in Providence, RI. I was working for Amtrak at the time and our son Joe was in College. I retired February 1, 2012 as an engineer working the California Zephyr between Oakland, CA and Reno, NV. I like the new look to the website and will try to visit it a little more often. Thanks and if you ever get to San Jose, CA I will give you a model railroad to live steam to prototype rail tour. I think I could set you up with a priests guest room at our parish rectory. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Thanks Bill! I do remember your visit. Hope all are well. Not sure if I’ll make it out there, but if I do, I will be sure to look you up.
