Hello all, We are being required to install rail sweeps on our "society owned" locomotive. Does anyone know of a commercially available sweep, or do you have...
Jason, there are gas powered portable roller brooms something like weedeaters. The broom is a foot in diameter and is 2.5 or 3' wide on a long pole with motor...
Full sized MOW "speeders" often have rail sweeps. These are simply a bracket about 5-6" wide that holds a strip of rubber flush with the railhead, set at an...
Rail Sweeps. That's not a bad idea. I don't know how many stones and sticks I've hit without seeing them coming. My engine just bounces over most of them but...
I guess I'm just curious as to what scale you are running, and why would you be required to install sweeps on a locomotive? All the speeders friends and I have...
There's an idea. Next time I'm at the track I'll see if I can figure a way to mount an old piece of mud flap in front of the leading wheels. Thanks Jason...
Thanks for the reply. What I'm looking for is more a "reverse mud flap" to go in front of the leading wheels to knock small sticks and stones off the rail. ...
1.5" scale, 7.5" guage. It's a C&S(?) F unit that we run at the Hesston Steam Museum in LaPorte Indiana. Our fearless Discover Live Steam Leader (Hi Jim!) will...
Might not look so good but maybe just attach some fairly heavy but flexible rubber to the pilot an 2 narrow sections just over the rails. Or, make a bracket to...
I think that's my plan. The frame is about four or five inches (11cm +/-) in front of the truck. I'm thinking of mounting the heavy duty rubber there. I think...
The issue happened on a first run with no one but the engineer aboard. It was before "opening time". The engineer didn't see a small piece of ballast that was...
If all goes well, maybe Saturday afternoon. If not the 4th of July weekend. Thanks for your input. Jason Ciastko Not sent from a Blackberry Wireless Device via...
Hey Jason, Is it (rail sweeps) a requirement at Hesston now or some place else? BTW, my brother and I are planning on bringing out his MCC Dash9 in a couple of...
It's being required on the Erie only. Let me know when you're bringing yours out. I'll try to be there. Don't forget Civil War is this weekend at the track....
A couple days ago I was coming down the serpentine at Train Mountain, night running. Saw a large piece of ballast on the rail but it was too late to stop....
Does anyone at their respective clubs allow Public Runs or visiting people from other clubs run their equipment on theirs? If so, how is the Liability handled?...
... Sure. It's the public what pays for this sport. Other steamers join the club for a day for a small fee. ... By lawyers and insurance agents. Liability...

Not sure what you mean by "Hijacked", but it does seem that the right side has been cropped off as if it was reformatted for a narrower screen. I almost...

my guess would be that the coding has somehow lost the <center> command and is now aligning all pages to the left margin  but I am not a programmer so...
