Im not sure if this is the correct place to put this ( if not could mods please move to correct place please)
I bought my first lathe a few months back as im getting close to retirement and have always wanted to build
my own steam locos.
this is the lathe I bought from a local supplyer

I have started building a loco from Brian Willsons book Steam trains in your Garden.


so far I have made some of the parts as im slowly learning tou use the lathe
Axels

Boiler

the frame assembled

I bought the frame from a supplyer who lasercuts them much easier for me

and also a gas burner for one of my mamod locos

I have also mad 3 of the 4 wheels and will post pictures when ive finished
cheers Graham
this is my progress so far
