Apr-04-02, 04:04 PM (EST) "Online Resources for Locomotive Mechanics?" Hey folks,Does anyone have any resources for locomotive mechanics. By mechanics, I mean how the parts move and interact with each other.I'm thinking of jumping into the steam locomotive arena, but I don't have any knowledge of how the pistons and rods work with the wheels to get the locomotive to move.Thanks,Brian.
