    It hit me the other day that these little super glue bottles would make a great wood glue bottles when empty.
    Been looking to buy some kind of small glue bottle and I've been throwing them away for years.

    Now you are going around in circles.
    Once you start wheeling the body it will really come to life.

    Here's the Trailing truck wheel assembly.
    I should note that the wheels go on the inside of this assembly when done.

    And then playing with the wheels.

    Bruce,

    Looks fantastic

    I reckon the big tender will set your locomotive off beautifully.

    This train build is a real stunner Bruce.
    Your progress is amazing considering your hospital stay a week ago.

    in relation to the be photo, could you not put a blank piece of timber over the top to prevent the dill-start-tearout? it would make for a cleaner hole and less sanding at he end? just a suggestion, but its coming on beautifully. cant wait to see the finished product.
