hello Dear
Many thanks for warm welcome . Sorry for late reply . I spent many weeks in hospital . Finn is just a nickname .I live in Saraburi , 120 km north of Bangkok . I have zero backroung of model engineering , by the way I have experience in minicnc for wood milling but don' t have metal tool .
I made some small shipmodel . I bought steam engine plan from stuartmodels and sent to make pattern then casting , so I know little about casting process . Last few months I started to search information of steam loco . Big budget spent for my micro steamloco bookshelf some are uncle Kozo ( ( almost all ) ,G1MRA book 1-4 , ARMIG , DEE , The Project , Bryan Wilson , Perter Jones ,Martin Evan , guage 1, 5, 3.5 , 7.5 plan mainly from Lilian , blowfly manual , Clishay , some books about boilermaking, track making , of course some was from free download.
Metal casting is my serious project for making engine part , trying hard to have small furnance for this mission .
Near my home has some steelshop and technical vocation , brass and copper tube can find near China town . I am happy to join with this site
