  1. The first compressor station I worked at was in a remote location past the end of the power lines. It made its own power using two Cat generators powered by natural gas. Then a microwave tower two miles down the road offered to buy rather than generate their own so we added a big Waukesha V8 to supply them and enhance our own supply.
  2. I have quite a few dimensions. I'm not sure if they are detailed enough. the only dimension I can't find is the sprocket. It could be extrapolated from the rest. I suppose the wheel spacing could be as well. Here's what I have. The diameter of a 4.50-16 tire is 26.20".
  3. He is by far the most reasonable in his prices.
  4. The company i used to work for had several of those, some Coopers, some Ingersoll Rands. they were on a natural gas pipeline to rebuild the gas pressure at intervals.
  5. More engines: Cosworth DFX Indy engine Buick Indy engine 1965 Lincoln 430 Scout SS 345
  6. I was wondering whether 3D printing was feasible. Somehow I had visions of the whole thing (track, wheels) in one piece. I'm not sure of what you mean by rubbing ? And no, I don't have access to an actual machine. At least I haven't checked.
  7. Thank you sir.
  8. Does one have to be a member to follow a member or can you do it as a guest?
  9. I want to build a Bombardier B12 snowmobile. I have enough info, photos measurements etc to scratch one up. the only problem is the tracks. There are about 150 cleats between the two of them I am looking for suggestions on how to reproduce them. Crimping aluminum channels in a die would work but it might take me several years. I wonder about 3D printing. Should I get the cleats printed in rows on a sprue or get the whole track assembly printed?
  10. C'est beau ça. well done!!!
  11. Turns out MTU is a Rolls-Royce Germany brand and this one is for marine applications.
  12. I'd have to find one to measure it.
  13. 20-cylinder MTU Series 8000 . Isn't it a beauty?
  14. I have to learn how to do that,
  15. And we see them here during the winter.
  16. Started exploring ways of adding the "peak, bill, overhang" of the roof.
  17. Fireball modelworks has nice resin steelies.
