BURRELL 6″ SCALE ROAD LOCO

[RICHARD GREEN 2Participant @richardgreen2]

HAS ANYONE BUILT ONE OF THE  6″ SCALE BURRELL 3 SPEED  ROAD LOCOS ?

WHO’S CASTINGS AND DRAWINGS CAN YOU RECOMMEND

ANY PITFALLS OR PROBLEMS ?

DID YOU BUY A BOILER OR MAKE YOUR OWN ?

Dave Page is one casting supplier but its best to go Direct to Ragsdale who cast them for him. Unless you are a coded welder you will be best off buying the boiler, Bell Boilers are good

THANKS FOR THAT JASON,  I’VE LOGGED INTO TRACTION TALK AND POSTED A MESSAGE,  WE’LL SEE IF I GET ANY REPLIES .

I HAVE BEEN A PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER AND BLACKSMITH FOR 35 YEARS. ALSO A BOILER MAKER FOR 11 YEARS  1975-86,  WORKING ON FULL SIZE ENGINES AND MODELS, I HAVE A WELL EQUIPPED MACHINE SHOP AND FORGE. SO I HOPE I WON’T HAVE TOO MUCH TROUBLE IF I DECIDE TO MAKE THE 6″ BURRELL,

BUT IT’S GOOD TO DISCUSS IT WITH SOME ONE WHO HAS BEEN THERE BEFORE.
