All.


As promised I started taking  pictures of my O scale 4-8-0 project to post. 
 Here is a  preview.  I have been scratch building the mechanism for the 
last  year plus.  The boiler, cab and cylinders are from a plastic model I  
bought several years ago.  The new mechanism has drivers I purchase from  
Locomotive workshop several years ago.  The rest is my first scratch  building 
attempt.  The frame was milled from brass bar stock and is  assembled with 
2-56 screws.  All four drivers are sprung and powered by a  faulhaber motor 
and NWSL gearbox.  I will be purchasing a Sound Traxx  Tsunami dcc decoder 
with the whistle recorded from the 1218.  The next  thing to be done is the 
baker valve gear.

The biggest thing I have  learned so far is that every tool needs a friend 

:)


enjoy

Tom  Lewis
