thanks

the new arrival
No direct experience of Regner locos. beyond seeing a friend run his 'Lumberjack'. They have brass boilers, which need more care than copper ones, eg. don't store the loco after a run with water in the boiler.Tropic Blunder wrote: ↑Wed Feb 17, 2021 1:07 amHi all, I recently acquired this Regner Else from facebook and it looks to be brand new which is obviously great news for me but its come with no instructions of any kind. I emailed Michael Ragg at Argyle and he said they've never imported one and thus have no documentation on it. has anyone had any experience with these? I'm pretty keen to have a go at steaming it up but at the moment i cant even find a way to get water into it short of pulling the whistle valve out of it or pulling the safety valve off.
Can't really tell you anything about Else, but to fill my Konrad as it came it was simply a case of unscrewing the safety valve and squirting water directly into the boiler. (I have now fitted a top-up valve.)Tropic Blunder wrote: ↑Wed Feb 17, 2021 1:07 amI'm pretty keen to have a go at steaming it up but at the moment i cant even find a way to get water into it short of pulling the whistle valve out of it or pulling the safety valve off.
I'm no fan of the aesthetics of german locos either, but there were a lot of them around in Australian industrial service, mostly in mining, but also on the cane trams, etc. and in every State.........Tropic Blunder wrote: ↑Thu Feb 18, 2021 10:14 amNot sure what body ill build to replace the Germanic one once I get it working. The drivers are too large to build a Perry or Barclay style body but I'll figure something out. those red frames will have to go ASAP
