Forgot to mention redoing the rear boiler mounts is necessary to keep the stack properly lined up with the steam pipes to the cylinders. That change along with having to cut, grind and file off any

Just for general information the September 1977 issue of Model Railroader has an article by Dean Shepherd on building a USRA Mike using Tyco (Mantua) parts. He used a Pacific boiler on a Mikado drive

If boiler mounting holes are in back of frame as I suspect they were originally,making a mount further back than original on mike frame would not require as much work(filing)and make for an easy

The boiler I got had been modified already,it looks to me going by file marks that the pad where mounting holes I will be using were filed into boiler(not original?)to fit the mike(shorter?)frame,not

Thanks for the sugestion. How well does the Pacific Boiler mount? Donovan ________________________________ To: yardbirdtrains@... Sent: Thu, November 29, 2012 11:17:20 AM Subject:

Alan, Nice! Many variations possible with the two distinct Mantua boilers (the Wagontop and the straight top boilers) plus the various Mantua cabs, pilots, etc. Other companies made their own

in photo album "mike repl. boiler" there are pictures of the one I'm currently building using pacific boiler,leaning towards lehigh valley loco,there are pictures of a few different ones along with

Their is a list of railroads with mikes and some pictures?on this link ??? Alan www.steamlocomotive.com/mikado/?page=usra ________________________________ To:

Denis , I lost my track many years ago . No , this one's not the Pacific boiler on Mike chassis topic ? I'm pretty sure ? I think ? Henry H.

Yessir ! Quite a few ex-NYC H5s went "down South" . AWP , KO&G ! Henry H.

Henry, I lost track. You're alluding to the Mikado with the Pacific boiler. Denis

Henry, Wasn't the KO&G one of those roads you have previously suggested for the Mantua Mike? Denis

I believe that the Mantua Mike was based on the NYC H-7E class mikado. There's also the NYC H-10 which was based partly on the earlier H-7 class but with Lima Superpower elements. I've compared boiler

SP had moderm Mikes? Donovan ________________________________ To: yardbirdtrains@... Sent: Wed, November 28, 2012 6:09:28 PM Subject: [yardbirdtrains] Re: Mantua 2-8-2 mikado

We have a local train run around here called the Skunk Train which runs from Willits to Ft. Bragg on the Mendocino coast. Google it, I have always wanted to model that. David
