New Menu Item - Workshop Project Plans
- Written by Scott McDonald
A new menu item has been added to the www.steamup.com website to make it easier to find downloadable project plans that have been feature in the pages of Steam in the Garden.
Registered users of the website will see a "Workshop Projects" menu button appear under the Magazine section on the left side of the our main webpage after they login. Clicking this button will bring up a page that will indicate the title of the published project along with the issue(s) where the plans were first published. Clicking on the title of the Project will take you to the plan(s) needed for downloading. These are PDF files that can be further saved and/or printed so that you can get started on that project.
We will be going back in time to bring you fresh scans of previously published plan drawings. Full instructions to go along with the plans can be found in the original magazine which may be available for order as a back issue (if still in stock) or download with you digital subscription.
Stay tuned - more plans to come in future issues of Steam in the Garden.
Blowing off steam
- Written by Administrator
On Jim Coplan’s Ardmore Division of the Sandy River & Rangeley Lakes Railroad in Pennsylvania, two passing trains blow off excess steam at the same time. On the left is Eric Schade’s mainly scratch-built Forney (with Roundhouse cylinders and valve gear). On the right is Jim’s Roundhouse Engineering No. 24. The covered bridge is Jim’s scratch-built replica of one of the railroad bridges on the now-abandoned Boston & Maine’s Concord & Claremont line. Photo by Jim Coplan.
