AFAIK, Zack and I were the earliest proponents of sealing the Percival basement. Would someone ask Zack if he likes the placement of the electrical in the basement as i do? dale

Museum Discussion / Re: Measurements of WW&F # 10?

« on: April 07, 2013, 11:39:49 AM »

tom, found my notes from measuring #10 a couple years ago. the drivers are 28" dia. dont know the distance between them but should be easily scaled using one of the many straight abeam photos of the engine on this website. also saw a sketch in the shop that said 'drawn 2011, eric schade, phippsburg, and his phone no. never followed up as i got what i needed from the real thing. send me a pm if you want it.  dale

sounds perfect, especially since we will have a spare portapotty very soon. it should have a window to see out of when on a train but not in use, closed/opaque when in use of course. if you want me to repaint it in structure colors or rolling stock colors, ask stewart to get me the paint by late july. dale

Brendan is correct, it is the portion of the SCRM between Rion quarry and Anderson quarry, about 5 miles std gauge.. The video is probably over 10 years old. The rail is 56# and was promised to us when/if it is replaced with heavy rail. Dont hold your breath. dale
