Are you using a set of castings for your loco build or bar stock ?. Nice bit of milling by the way Stew |

Graham, That is progressing really well. Here is a tip if you want a bit of sheet steel for your loco. Old computer cases are a good source, and the paint usually stays on it when cut. Two thicknesses normally, the interior plate is usually a little thinner. Old white goods are a good source as well, but the paint flakes off very easily, so a quickie flash over with a blowtorch and the paint usually peels off and you have nice bare metal, a good, strong bit of plate.
