Re: ID these small lights
RRSC classification lamps from my jewelry box where they have resided since 2005. I don't have any idea what's with the pink lenses. Maybe someone with prototype experience can tell us when pink lenses are used.

Re: Looking for Signal Castings
Yep. I must be the only one left. Touchy and irritating interacting adjustments on a Collins modem from back in the days when it took a full height 17" equipment rack to hold just two modems.

Re: Looking for Signal Castings
Too busy with a 10+ year backlog of hobby projects, the energy of a 75-year-old, and putting in radiant under floor heat in the house with a new mod-con boiler! My thought when I saw the cross bucks was that they would duplicate really nice on a 3D printer. Once drawn the printing wouldn't take a lo...

Winton Castings V2.0 (Sold)
I'm not sure why I bought these on Ebay at least 20 years ago. I think they are all Winton. I've never had a Winton engine or expected to get one. Some are unsullied castings, some may be junk, some may need to be bushed and new holes put in, I just don't know. What you see is what you get. To allow...

Re: Boiler, home made!

Re: Stuart Steam Boiler Feed Pump (SBFP) - Stuart gasket material "Copperite" and "Oakenstrong"
I did a search of archive.org. Copperite showed up as a color for an Eagle oil can and a type of high speed steel, but that was it. none of the hits were in ME.

I noticed that there is a pretty good collection of old Model Engineer magazines on archive.org. You might give that a try to see if it suggests anything.

Re: Auto rack
The Monogram "Big Deuce" offers some possibilities. Unfortunately, The kit doesn't support a totally stock version and it's a convertible. A number of years ago there was someone who was selling resin cast body parts to make a couple of body variations when used with the kit's fenders and ...
