In issue 4514 starting on page 252 there is a general description of a turbine locomotive … what a wonderful machine … Mr Jeggli criticises himself on the last page of the article … I think he deserves total praise … if anyone else looks carefully at the published photos they would realise he has incorporated a lot of very clever systems into the model … all home-made I assume … is there any way he could be persuaded to add some details of various parts of the loco ??
Shown in photos 20 to 23 is the burner module with all its parts … the burner itself looks tiny as regards overall length measured from the 2 inlet pipes to the burning surface … this seems to be gauze and not ceramic … clever !! looking at photo 21 this shows the steam pressure diaphragm valve removed from its location … it is tiny !! … what may be the adjusting spring is only just over one turn … the ones I have previously made have usually been at least 10 mm in length and equipped with 2 locknuts.
The water pump has its own built-in guide for the ram and the pump body looks as if it swings the 2 water pipes as it moves … neat and space-saving !!
Please Mr Jeggli, any chance of publishing any details in the magazine ??
