Regards, Arnold --- End quote --- I was surprised to when I had recieved the engine casting kit 8 years ago. The truck castings are of the same quality. Can't wait to start working on them. The Shay is a 1 1/2" scale with a track width of 7 1/4". Bernd |

I'm always impressed by the members that take on such detailed complex projects. I enjoy the skill and patience it takes to complete full blown locomotive. Maybe some day i might try it myself or something like it. First I need to work on the patience part. This is going to be a treat to follow your progress. Al |
| Bernd:
Al, That's why it took 8 years from when I first started. I had to learn patience too. I got that from watching the memebers here with their projects. Also I've learned to give up some of the other projects that I wanted to do. It's slow going right now. I'm working on drilling all the holes in the truck bar stock. No sense wasting forum space on that right now. Bernd |
| Bernd:
:update: The drilling of the holes in all the bar stock is complete. Next will be a jig to help make the bend for the one part that looks like a "V" with wings on it. But first I've got two projects for two other people that I need to get done. :update: Bernd |
