It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog once again. It's June and we are halfway through the year already! Wow! Today's locomotive is the last one I ran on my mini steam up in early May on the new/used raised layout. This is my Accucraft Live Steam Emma. Emma is a model of a Brooks industrial 0-4-0T. Brooks Locomotive Works, of Dunkirk, New York was an important supplier of locomotives to railroads and industry. In 1901, Brooks and several other locomotive builders merged to become the American Locomotive Company, or ALCO. It's a bit larger than a usual G scale locomotive which is generally 1:29, this one is 7/8 scale. It's a really fun locomotive to operate though and it's run time is quite long as it has good size water and fuel tanks.
I have a video of it operating on YouTube HERE.
First time past she slowed down, didn't seem to slow down the second time?? Do all the engines use the same fuel?
ReplyDeleteYes, all of mine run on Butane and water. I may have adjusted it slightly before it went around again or it may have built up more pressure which is probably more likely due to this one pops off a lot. Need a heavier load for it.
