Screwy Nick Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 This is my first attempt at a using chain and sprocket. I was inspired by two gentlemen on another forum to try it this way.I first had to re-route the piping and valve for my tender heater. Pics show the rest, nothing others haven't already done. I did enjoy doing it this way, and can see the advantages and disadvantages of doing it either wayTender Heater: the pipe running the length of the tender is closed at the end and has several #80 holes drilled into it. With the valve just cracked the trickle of steam also adds mild turbulence to the keep the water mixed, and as an added benefit the steam is turned back into water.

Screwy Nick Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 Sean, I tested each step on rollers before I moved to the next. Yesterday was the track test and it did great. I need to raise the coupler on the tender a bit so I don't have to use a piece of wire to attach my 1:29 heavyweights, not a bad match.
