Dyak Boiler.   Message List

Re: Dyak Boiler.

I wrote this note once before, but for some reason, it wouldn't post it
properly.

I would love to have any information that I could get on Annie Boddie and
especially on Hollywood Annie. I believe that the castings and lead truck, I
believe that y'all call it a 'bogie', was the same as that of the 'Fayette'
locomotive. Are any of those castings still available?

I would love to build a 4-4-0 in 1/2" scale, although it will be quite a while
before I can get to it. I currently have TWO 4-4-0s in 1 1/2" scale 7 1/2"
gauge under construction, and I also have a Little Engines 1/2" scale Pacific
chassis that I need to finish up and get running.

Thanks John. 3-1/4" minus 1/8" for the wrapper gives 3-1/8" for the width of the throatplate. Making a 3-1/16" hole in this would leave the flanges only 1/32"...
