Re: Looking for Signal Castings
I remember in the 80’s when our company was upgrading its SCADA system. A tech was rolling a big plastic dumpster type box out to the dock with a bunch of 33-1/3 sized platters. 1 Meg each.

Re: ID these small lights
The bezels appear to be missing, they look to have been hot! Either one or more of the lenses are too small, and/or partially deformed due to heat. Mike, second photo, lamp on right.

Isn’t that the other way around, Russ?
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a slide valve engine with the outside steam pipes from smokebox to the top of the valves.

Re: Rail Bender
If you do not roll your aluminum rail, and use the light aluminum rail joiners, and do not adequately install your trackage to prevent side to side movement as it expands and contracts, you will find the rail joints will kink.

Re: RGS Goose#7
Hi Dave, Beautiful vehicles! Congratulations! The box bodies were removed to enable the Geese to be used in the final and sad ending to the RGS. Scrapping.
