Thanks

 

Now what I want to know is how do you pronounce Walschaerts?

:D

 

 

Well, I say it sort of like "Wall-scharts."  The guy who made the video says it more like "Wall-sheerts." :lol:

A really neat explanation!  Try assembling one in HO scale without getting the pivot rivets too tight!  Of course on a model, the linkage can't be shifted, but then again, it doesn't need to in order to look right!  Hope he'd do one about Baker and Southern valve gear.  Similar function, but not quite the same. :rolleyes:
