Rudy,
I know about (and seen pictures of) that piece of locomotive jewelry you make, but thought you were still testing load capacities. Of course, these guys in Fresno (Friends of Chris Allen's) are into modeling stuff twice as big (15" gauge) as us normal folk.
" />
I did give them your name & E-mail as a possible source of information, but cautioned that you tend to keep yourself rather busy.
The guy I'm feeding info to is Kell Schmidt ( krr@jps.net ) the group is the Hillcrest & Watokee RR (see link below). These guys are full of energy, new ideas, some huge plans, and the capital to pull it off. Now if I can just convince them to build some more prototypical equipment like a "Glenbrook", "Eureka" or C-16 and stop with the plantation style engines.
Now, as for your 2.5" scale generator. I'll be getting the final payment for some book illustrations I'm working on about mid May. It's earmarked (banning more car problems) to head in your direction for one of those E2s, and if you found a new supplier, a couple of Jorgensen Water Glasses.
Cheers,
Curtis F.
