Title: 1 1/2 scale Baker valve gear
Post by: Buddpig on April 28, 2010, 01:16:56 AM

We are currently making a 1 1/2 inch scale cab forward Pacific ,this is the Baker valve gear that we are fitting, Spent the day fitting the Cross heads/shoes to the slide bars. We found that it is important to get a free fitting slide with no binding with the pistons attached w/o compression rings.
