Thank You Peter. John you are probably right about the rods. They are not exactly the same as I marked and measured out all of them seperate so I'm sure they are off a little. The wheels also may not be the exact same length apart. I have decided to build a display case made of plexiglass to go over a wooden base for the train to sit on so it will not be moving anyways. Going to mount it over the French doors in my study so my little ones can not reach it, but I will still be able to see it everyday.

Well I have finally run out of steam on this project. The Locomotive and tender are now 100% finished and completed. I still have to finish the track and make a display case for it. But for now I am finished. I took alot of pictures.

How Excellent......
G'day Bret,
I'm not sure that even with your great ability with the camera, that the photos do your train justice.....
Now everyone can see that all the blood, sweat, tears, time & effort is so worthwhile and your attention to detail along with the patience’s shows off your craftsmanship as one to inspire toward....
WELL DONE, ON A TOP PROJECT WHICH YOU CAN BE VERY PROUD OF INDEED!!!!.
Thank you for all the WIP photos and build notes.
Cheers, crowie

Thank You Derek, Yonnee, Crowie, and Wheelin. I was in a hurry yesterday as I was posting the final. I have approx 117 hours completing this project. I started it last October. It almost lasted a year. If I had just 3 solid 40 hours weeks I could have finished it quicker. The actual build time was 102 hours and about 15 hours of assembly and finishing. I feels good to have it finished but now I have nothing on the bench and that is driving me crazy. Hope to start a new project soon.

Derek I do want to make a cabinet for it and Handy I also want to make some more cars. Probably a boxcar, tankcar and a caboose. But for right now I am all steamed out. I went out in the shop this evening and decided to finish my lathe workbench drawers which is what I was working on before I finished the train. The reason I quit working on them was the sawblade in my tablesaw was dull and would not cut threw the maple edging for the false front drawers. So I went out and bought a new sawblade and have no excuse to not finish now.
