I've just returned from some Steam operations down in PA and find myself becoming more interested in the technical aspects of the locomotives. Especially rebuilding and operations. <br />Is there any publications or websites dedicated to the rebuilding of steam engines. I'm interested in specifications, clearances, lubricants, etc. etc. I'd also like to learn how they operate from the Engineers perpective. There are so many valves etc. It's hard to understand the running order. <br />I went for a couple of shop tours and find it fascinating. A long term dream of mine would be to assist in rebuilding a steamer. I live near Toronto and they are trying to return a 30+ stall roundhouse to working order, and since I work in a large machineshop, I think I might be able to help. (even though it will be many years down the road when they start as funding is a problem) <br /> <br />Thanks
