Are you using a set of castings for your loco build or bar stock ?.

Nice bit of milling by the way

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.

there has been a bit of a holdup on this project as I need to source some small sized steel hex bar for some of the pins that need to be made.
will post changes when they happen
