4-6-2 Tank Locomotive - Circa 1910

Pity we don't live closer Derek - I would be around to scrounge

I am really looking forward to the pipework. The more equipment on the loco will make it look much better I think.

Just remember all the pipework was done by hand. You are likely to find the odd dint here and there. Chances are no two engines of that period will be identical.

If you did live closer you would be welcome. Have you got any model shops handy as that is where I got mine from the problem being they are only 1ft long for longer pieces you may need to find somewhere they do model engineering supplies. If you really get stuck I will see what I can do from here.

If you had a company like THIS near you, you would be in your element

If you have a look HERE it is a magazine which may have some leads in it for you guys in Australia

Thanks Derek,

Beautiful locomotives.

Better not let Repliconics see that magazine. The diesel is only a "brick" on wheels.

Thanks for your research for me

But the one in front looks good, don't you mean anything with more than two wheels is a brick on wheels

Train is looking fantastic Keith. I love all the ideas for making piping. I will have to log that away for future use.

Thank You Keith. Yes one of the upgrades was a fully insulated and a/c /heated garage. On top of that I was able to add a 3rd bay which will house most of woodworking shop and leave room for the wife's car and possibly my car or the 64' pickup when it is finished. Staying with my parents has been an adventure. 32 days here already and 37 more to go...

A Countdown Calendar - great - I had one on my office wall for 3 months before retirement. Changed number of days to go each day, but tended to go slowly

Take Care
