Hey Brian, nice cordwood load, but what's that pile of coal doing on the tender deck?

Quote from: lrparks on September 21, 2007, 11:26:00 AMKeep in mind the D&RG balloon stack is for wood burners. Coal burners had the smaller straight stack. If you swap out the stack you should change the tender load too. Wood is easy though, you can use the real thing -
I want the ET&WNC Annie, but I like the stack on the Denver & Rio Grande Annie. Is there a way to put the Denver & Rio Grande Stack on a ET&WNC Annie?

Ummm.......(oh boy!) uh......guys? I hate to nit-pick right off the bat (especially since I have been waiting so long!) but that tapered stack is wrong! I checked through Dennis O'Berry's book, "The Mudhens" which has copious amounts of pictures of all of the K-27's and only found one picture with a tapered stack and that was of #463 when she was still a Vauclain compound engine in 1908! Every other picture shows a straight stack! How could Bachmann make such a glaring error??!! I sincerely hope that someone at Bachmann caught this early enough so that when the production models come out this will have been corrected! (If not, Accucraft makes a stack that would work in it's place.)

Advantages of stainless outdoors.
Funny.
Those who complained that aluminum was too silvery, suddenly accept the chrome glare of stainless.
Tractive effort alone would cause me to NOT use stainless.
If I can haul 28-34 loads consistently up 150' of 4% with ONE Bachmann Shay, I sure would like to hear what folks with Stainless are able to do.
I guarantee I will out-pull you.
Wire.
Clamps.
Power districts.
Oh, well, now Piko has Brass, and KGB is bringng back the ex-LGB track line, so brass won't be a supply issue....just bring lots of cash.

That was a real pleasure to watch. Great work. It would be very interesting to see the camera set-up you used to film it.

Many homes are wired with aluminum, and their lights still work!
