Hi Randy:

Sorry for the late reply.  The link to the catenary system is here; you've seen it before, as you commented on it way back.  I don't want to hijack this thread, so please reply over there if you have any other comments or questions.

Thanks for the compliment on the tanks.  They are superb models, and darn near impossible to find.  I happened on this set at Nicholas Smith last month, and acquired a couple more from a Euro-minded member on the forum, @Steinzeit.

Nate:

Thanks for the link to your plans. Yours is a most impressive post. Your detail and photos are most helpful. The post must have taken you a huge amount of time.

I have several questions for you.

  • Are your solder joint done with high temperature silver solder or regular tin/lead soft solder?
  • The brass rods from Lowes, are they brazing rods?
  • Did you anneal the rods to facilitate the intricate bends required?

Bravo on a great piece of work and thank you for your generosity in sharing your technique in such great and informative detail.
