Re: [BRHSlist] Digest Number 681

So now we know that the Q took delivery with the stop valvels in the 
horizontal position. But it appears that they were changed out shortly there 
after. Has anyone attempted to make the change on the Proto2000 yet? I have 
just finished the tender modification and am going to tackle the engine this 
week.
This is a great forum to share ideas on how to better improve a model which 
has resulted in improvements to my own modeling skills.
Thanks to all who have given their information about this modle and 
prototype, and their suggestions of how to make a stock model even better.
Ray
