Download or read book Mount Mitchell written by Jeff Lovelace and published by The Overmountain Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Short line mountain railroads are often miracles of construction. Built primarily for shipping logs, the Mount Mitchell Railroad was no exception. Within a span of 21 miles, the road climbed 3,500 feet, but utilized only three trestles and nine switchbacks, while maintaining a grade of five and a half percent. In this richly illustrated work the author brings to life a time when Mount Mitchell was dressed in virgin timber. Access to the mountain, located in Western North Carolina, was slow and difficult; but after completion of the railroad, a timbering industry was born. The railroad also provided tourists with scenic trips along its rugged contours.

Book excerpt: Live steamers and metalworking hobbyists will be delighted with this comprehensive work covering the design, construction, painting, and commissioning of a working steam locomotive model. The Climax Class A locomotive was the original Climax model with a two-cylinder upright motor combined with a two-speed transmission and skew bevel gears. This model for Gauge 1 track comes to life as 661 drawings, 358 color photographs, and detailed fabrication guidance all meld and resonate in the mind. But wait! This book is not just about building a locomotive model. Here is a source book of current shop techniques where CNC machining one-off parts is a paragraph and a photo away from old school soldering, bending and filing. Makers and doers will find the fabrication tips and advice to be invaluable. Detailed plans are also included for a carrier and case, test rollers, a stack blower, and an E-clip grooving tool for the lathe. Do not overlook the computer files that accompany the book on the publisher's download site. Where else will you find software program code to cut skew bevel gears and mill parabolic headlight dishes?
