Lynx Wood Gasifier Boiler Part 2
The boiler needed to be suspended because of the way the fan mounts. Making the whole unit look like a BB-Q makes it a bit more house friendly. Its also a good way to tidy up all the controls, steam engine, water reservoir into one accessible place. I sure learned that anymore than two pounds of wood is unnecessary. With four pounds and fan on high it looks like a Mig 15 afterburner. Next is the tedious fitting of the tubing, and controls, then more testing, refinements.

(HD) Steam Boat with engine running on air the S. L. Dorey by Jim Tangeman
**KEEP STEAM ALIVE**
Video showing Jim Tangeman trouble shooting on his Steam Boat the S.L. Dorey on 12/27/08. Steam Engine is a modified Stuart 5a. Jim recently installed a Seperator Drum with recirculation to this boiler. Its great to see all the moving parts of a steam engine exposed. Sorry about the air-compressor noise in the background.

Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad Steam locomotive Disassembly.
This is a video i worked on all day on it started early this morning when we first moved willamette locomotive rayonier # 2 outside to have some parts removed we started removing large parts mainly the airtank,tender,CAB, and other parts This video shows this process of removal first we remove the pipes, then we remove the tender and place it on the ground, Next we remove the cab and place it on a small railroad car to be placed into the shop to be fixed up then the aairtank is removed. After that we move the engine into the shop for more work the boiler,firebox,all pipes everything is removed and will be cleaned rebuilt or replaced. I worked my on this locomotive i scraped like 50 years of crap off dirt oil and who the knows what else then we had to get the tender frame seperated from the engine itsself. This locomotive will be taken apart piece by piece and then put back together again. If you have any questions about this project sent me a message or a comment and i will anwser what i can thanks.
