    That's great Dallas. A lot of effort has gone into that.

    Good job.

    Awesome!!

    Is it a particular train, or just a generic from a plan set?

    Thanks Yonnee, It is from a plan. I would guess the plan was drawn from a real train. Dallas

    The locomotive is just beautiful! How many hours did it take?
    How do you finish it, all those fiddly little bits

    Thanks Wendy, I think I spent about 76 hours on it. It doesn't have a finish on it, just left it natural. The wood on main parts is White Oak. A lot of fun lathe work on it. Dallas
