   Well I have made a small step on my Loco build. It is the model engineer "Simplex".

  Here are the frames leaning against what will become the cyl stock.

   

   This build may take quite a while to complete so please bear with me.

  All comments and advice are eagerly sought.

  Quite a bit of hacksaw and file work went into the frames. Another needed skill to practice for my foray into machining.  ;D ;D ;D


   The frames are still bolted together as I don't want to separate them til I'm sure I don't need to do more on them. They were cut and drilled as a unit to make sure everything lined up.

Hi Have a look around the 'model engineers clearing house' webb site there are neumerous sections on simplex, there's a guy 'Dr John' on that web site who literaly gives a blow by blow description of building one good pic's to, follow the links to his site. Good luck.

  Thanks Maninshed, I found the Simplex web site but couldn't find DR. Johns.

  Did find a "Tich" bulid though.
