There is one listed for $105.00 at: Jerry Quinn Classic Trains & Toys 1329 Blackhorse Hill Rd. Coatesville, PA 19320 Phone: (610) 383-1931 E-mail: JQTrainToy@aol.com http://www.angelfire.com/biz/JerryQuinnTrainsToys/new.html Unfortunately, I know nothing about this dealer. ....Oops. Sorry, I see that someone already mentioned this dealer.
Pardon my ignorance, but what is the purpose of a hump yard?
Thanks for the info, Spank. Those railroad guys are really clever.
Cacau, The castings are almost identical. Unfortunately, the difference involves the smoke unit. The 2036 casting does not have the "cradle" which holds the puffer axle in place. The bottom half of the cradle is in the cow catcher, which is easily swapped out. The top of the cradle is in the casting itself.
Cacau, There are two parts: the "cooker" that heats the smoke pellet and melts it to liquid and then to smoke, and the "puffer" which pushes the resulting smoke out the stack. The cooker sits right under the smoke stack inside the casting. The puffer looks like an upside-down cup and fits inside another cup which is attached to the bottom of the cooker. There is an axle on the puffer which allows the puffer to go up and down inside the cooker's cup. (Yikes, this is starting
Yes, that is a good analogy.
[quote user="Cacau"] OK. that is going to be a challenge.Thanks! Here is what I am thinking of doing. I will build "something" that will hold the burner to the smoke stack, with teh "puffer"right underneath it. I will then place a small (1-inch) fan (they can be found in electronic stores), and I will put a rectifier bridge (80 cent) followed by a voltage 7805 controller (a 50 cent part) to keep th voltage to 5v. With a small fan underneath it, do you think it will work
Cacau, Well, you have the burner and the puffer. And if you have a complete 2036, you would have everything else. Maybe a shell would be more than $10. Probably not much more. And you'd have the sync'd puffing. And you'd know it would all fit and work. However, you sound like you're looking forward to the challenge of putting your idea to the test. Nothing wrong with that.
[quote user="cwburfle"] Off the top of my head, the cattle platform is one of them. [/quote] cw, Oh, come on. I can't believe this. Not without a photo of the top of your head.
Jon, Over the years, I've heard that quote attributed to Happy the Clown and Sally Starr. And maybe a couple of others. So I suspect Uncle Don is indeed innocent.
