[Steam-engine] [SEL] O/T Steam lead lag

[Richard Strobel]

Thanks much Jim!!  I've tried downloading many times and ISP or something 
times out....so I went ahead and ordered a hard copy online..should be here 
in a couple days and looking forward to it.  We appreciate your 
compliment...it was definetly a labor of love.  I've got probably 10 hours 
of it understeam now and look forward to belting it up to a #5 
Fairbanks-Morse water pump which is almost done.  Should load it down enough 
without pumping water and will get some good sounds I reckon.

  4th generation Edward Wachs is still around and is CEO of the company out 
of Chicago.  They do have a place here in Montana and will be getting ahold 
of them soon.  Hopefully we can get the engine and them together!!

Regards,
Rick
