DGRS steamup 19june2010

Just a few of the live steamers I caught fired up today at the Colorado RR Museum We open with an Accucraft climax & a couple of Ruby variants along with an apperance of a "vintage" Roundhouse Aussie style steamer. No fingers were burned here today, only butane & steam oil but serious FUN was had by all !

How do you know when to stop and check the water pressure?

[SkipW]

@wannalayya these have little pressure gauges, but after you run one a few times you can tell when they start to lose the steam

What do they do when it rains?  Neat!

[SkipW]

@sgtredbluered the serious ones just Steam on thru the rain

love the ruby! but whree did you get the cow catcher and the headlight?

[WA1LBK]

Skip, loved the Ruby (I have what is probably the same engine, stock Ruby #11, with RC added). The conventional pilot makes a HUGE difference in appearance! :)

Also got a kick out of the opening scene with the Bachmann Climax - I have the same loco (it's my oldest large-scale loco, still in service on my garden RR), including a Phoenix sound card running thesame sound file!  ;) Tom
