Thanks for the reception. This is the most current project. It is a single cylinder, single acting, oscillating steam locomotive to run on Gauge 1 track (45mm between the rails). The engine runs on air and the boiler fully tested. Just have some plumbing to do, a butane burner rig and a cab. Hopefully it will be done in time for our next club steam-up run in Sept.
This is another Gauge 1 live steam about half done. This one is 2 cylinder, double acting. I need to get back on this one. It will probably be butane gas fired too.
This Gauge 1 engine is from an LBSC design. It has a single cylinder between the frames. Never got around to painting this one. It has about 250,000 miles on it. The black smokebox on the front of the boiler is actually bare copper. This one fired with alcohol.
This wooden arch bridge is for a Gauge 1 train layout and is from a French street car bridge design. The arches are laminated from clear pine. Everything else is pine and some maple. The short truss rods hols the arch assemblies together.
The next project after the oscillator is a tool grinding table from a Harold Hall plan.
Thanks, Bob
