Re: Photography thread

During the 1950's most US trains switched to diesel power. Diesel locomotives were easier to maintain, did not require frequent stops to fill with water, and could go further before refilling. Lumpy coal is also harder to transfer than liquid fuels. New train technology is trying electric power. Thi...

Re: Photography thread

I don't know much about steam engines either, but they sure fascinate me as well. Here is a fairly recent photo taken at the CT Antique Machinery Museum in Kent, which is only 1/2 hour from my house. I have no clue what this engine is, but apparently it was used by a lumber company:

Riveted steel joints are OK, IF properly designed and installed. Poorly welded joints can fail also, so they are often X-rayed to prove the joint is good. Whatever you do in a critical device the materials, process, assembly, and testing must be all good and trusted. The early failures were often be...

Re: Vida CEM swapping

I haven't taken my CEM apart, or any CEM, so I don't know exactly what's inside. How are the connections made? For $65 that doesn't seem to be a bad price to get the CEM pin. Thanks for the info.
