For those who like STEAM, here are a few videos of the 1218. I worked for Southern Railway, then Norfolk Southern Corp after Southern and N & W merged.

I got to run the N&W 611 from Asheville, NC to Linwood, NC on its last trip to the museum in Roanoke. There is a lot of difference in a living, breathing, steam locomotive and a set of multiple-unit diesels. Had cars following on side roads all along the way. No comparison to blowing a steam whi...

I have been looking for a revolver in 38-40 to go with an original Win 1873 in same caliber. I have no idea on the worth of Colt pistols. Anyone have an opinion as to whether this Colt is worth the minimum bid price?

Case head separation was mentioned. I assume this means the rim and just forward of the rim separated. What about the rest of the case? I have had BP loads in 45-110 separate with the forward portion of the case either going down the barrel and exiting with the bullet or lodging in the front portion...

Thanks for all the birthday wishes. I went to the range and spent the whole day. Yes, I did shoot a lever gun--my Winchester 73. 40 rounds with two different loads. Also shot another lever gun--45-2 7/8 Sharps. Had a great day. Thanks again.

KirkD,
You have mentioned that Blue Dot had a burning rate that very closely matched BP. For the 38-40 in an 1873, what kind of a load would you start with using this powder?

Kansas Ed,
How did the part break? Was it through normal usage (eg. firing the rifle using the set trigger function)? I own a 73 with the set trigger function and it works fine. Just don't want to break it, if I can help it.

I own a Winchester '73 in 38-40. To go with the rifle I picked up an original mould for the 38wcf that is in good enough condition to cast bullets. I also managed to find an original Winchester 1882 loading tool that is in 'as new' condition. I have not tried to cast bullet with the mould but the lo...

I have a Winchester 1873 that was in similar shape--had the hardened grease inside. Worked for a whole day just to remove it. Mine had a set trigger and the fly had frozen so it no longer worked. I tried turpentine as a solvent and it didn't work. Found that Hoppes #9 cut the grease reasonably well....

I own an original 1873 Winchester. This particular rifle is one which was fitted with the "set trigger" option. The rifle has no half-cock safety. I am wondering if this is because the set trigger is incompatible with the half-cock safety (i.e., the rifle has a "fly" in the actio...

Diphenylamine is used as a stabilizer in nitrocelulose/nitroglycerin type propellants.
