Thanks Guys Its been a bit of a struggle to say the least, I think the hardest part has been trying to follow on from someone else you make the assumption that parts have been made right because you know you would have made it correct, one thing I have learnt is to check that every thing is correct otherwise you run into great difficulties. Not sure what to do now, I've started to get a bit jaded with this project, I think I need to give it a rest and do something else so I think I will put it to one side for a bit and do something else:- Probably another engine build I have a couple drawn up :D Stew |

I have recently started to strip an 060 tank engine to refurbish, and reading the ever growing list of challenges you faced I am now questioning my sanity. I do like your projects, they have some very interesting techniques and have certainly helped me expand my ( limited ) machine capabilities. Keep omn posting - please! |

I've stalled some what with the loco project but hope to pick it up again shortly mainly consolidating what I have already done, I,d really like to get it in steam next year. Why not post some pics of your loco. Stew |
