The Home Machinist!

Hi All, still looking for a solution for cleaning the orfices under the nozzles, currently it seems the only way to access these is by removing the truck underneath and taking the assembly out that way, these are in a Little Engines locomotive

good morning is it possible to clean burner nozzles using high-pressure water after removing the gas supply line?

Update on mag repair, replaced magnets as existing ones would no stay charged, new ones work fine so we will see how this lasts.
Cheers!

Hi All, is there a method for chemically cleaning the soot from burners without having to remove the whole assembly, seems there may be a pressure issue that caused everything to get sooted up.

Thanks for the replies, what size locomotive would these fit, be advised there are about 1” Dia. there are small brackets that appear to have solder on them did wires go through the holes in the yellow plugs? Can someone post a pic of a supply light?
Thanks

Good morning, can anyone identify these small fixtures, they are about 1” each has a green and white lense. Thanks

Thanks, no grade on this line.

As an experiment could I use 2 fishing magnets 1 on each side to see if I get a good spark, if so I would get the original magnets recharged.
Just a thought.
Thanks

Is there a means of adding more magnets on top of the existing? I did use keepers when I removed the magnets, aside from a weak spark how can I tell if the magnets are strong enough?
Thanks

Not sure how we would run out of fluid ?

Our 2 newer locomotives have the drift valves. The 2 older ones do not, none have brakes they rely on feathering the valve for control.
Thanks

Assuming the pump is not operating and we are in the parked position, Valve is in the center position should , should we still be able to roll the locomotive ?
Thanks
