I've always looked to your videos if I was always curious about something with the hobby, in your case living, and over the past four days have went back and watched everyone of your videos you've posted. Honestly have always had allot of self-dought with getting into live steam and has always found a spot in the back of my mind ever since my first memory and fascination with trains and grew up around ho modeling. Honestly over the past few years have really made it a attempt to find little engines 0-4-0 and Railroad supplies as well. Your video of you firing the 0-4-0 modeled after your mercer camelback really is hitting home for me to be my first live steam locomotive build after I find the proper machining equipment I am currently coming up with the money to by and rebuild a machine if necessary. Just wanted to say thank you really for the great content, stories, facts, etc. Really honestly looking to eventually make a carrier in the hobby and highly look up to you as a role model. Thank you once again Mr. Sclavi.
My background is over 20 years of full-size railroading and track. Superelevation is predominately about speed or velocity and is directly proportional to the radius of the curve. It has to do with the equilibrium of the vehicle traveling through the curve at a specific speed. It is the same on the highways as the railroads. Because all traffic does not travel at the same speed through a curve, the elevation formula is for 3 inches of unbalanced elevation for passenger trains as that is the upper limit of OK feeling transiting a curve. Freight trains will need to be able to stop on a curve and not fall inward. Basically, full-size railroads are faced with the same situation as models in that there is more specifications for almost everything including turnouts than about just track because track operates very well with few specifications until there is tight quarters. Almost everything in that trackwork catalogue has been learned by trial and error over about 200 years of practical operation. I used to be a member of the American Railway Engineers Association.
Hey! Love your videos! Im from Supercar Blondie and we would love to feature you on our channel! Let me know an email for yourself if you are interested :)

G'day, Dave! Excellent! Enjoyed the video! (demonstrating how dual gauge frog works) I too, really appreciate seeing your video! Thank you! Cheers! 🚂✌🏻❤️😊
Excellent! I appreciate you posting. I like listening to your presentation and learn a lot from you.

Great to see you're back. 👍👍
love your videos glad to see you back
Really love your work.
Great Video.
Loved it..
Thank you...
😊👍👍✌
Thanks for sharing 👍
How much easement do you need for a curve? Is about a car length enough?
Where are you located? And can we visit the club’s track and take a ride?
you're genius
Need a pizza making video follow up!
