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 :D 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 |

Great Progress Graham. :clap: Impressed with the boiler I've yet to takle mine. I had my frames laser cut it doesn't cost a fortune and saves an aching arm and a fortune in haxsaw blades, and you end up with a real acurate job get the frames wrong and the loco won't stay on the track. Have fun :headbang: Stew |
