Ken, are you going to make a few cars to go along with it, or just the engine and maybe a coal car?

I can't wait to see Kenbo make a ton of little bits of coal!

At the moment, the plan is to make the engine, the coal car, 2 passenger cars, a box car and a caboose but we will see how my ambition goes as the train goes along.

Okay, another 8 hours in the shop today and although it was tedious, I had a good time with it.
Enough of the chit chat....here's the pics.

I'm waiting for Ken to up his game and show us a mini forge and metal casting setup - and cast a whistle and bell for this. I'm also waiting for all the tiny wooden rivets to appear on the boiler. :sofa:


:popcorn::popcorn::popcorn: Following along, as always, because your builds are always worth watching!

I actually considered the rivets and figured that I had way to much planned on this build as it was to get sidetracked on silly rivets. LOL.

Ya know Ken... that @ThomasT character has all those nifty metal working tools stashed in his shop, and if you check out his videos on You Tube you'll find that he does some really interesting stuff on the metal lathe. He could maybe be talked into fabricating a nice Shiny Brass Bell and Whistle if you have some Hooter worthy Canadian Woods stashed in the shop someplace fer trade.

Oh did I mention, his shop is as clean as yours! :haggle:
 
Aha....not even close to what I was looking for. Lol
