Well John as you will see in my other post I have started another small project. I didn't know I had to update so often. LOL
The main reason I haven't done much on the train is I need a chuck for my lathe as I need to make a bunch of round parts and dowels. I have asked Santa for a chuck and a dust collector. So I guess I will have to be a good boy until Xmas. hehe

Subscribed. Being patient until after Christmas is going to be hard, everyone feel like passing the plate around to get him a chuck?

Thanks guys but Im pretty sure Santa is going to take care of me. Seeing how he is using my money to buy my gifts. LOL
Scott just for you I will work on some none round parts so you can have some updates before Xmas. It will be my Xmas present to you. Just have to finish the garage first.

Life is so good.
While appreciated Bret's craftsmanship, we can have fun stirring one another.
Bret, the train is looking awesome mate; great detail & attention to finish even at this stage in the build.
Thanks for AGAIN taking the time & effort to produce such great WIP photos & notes.
We'll look forward to seeing the New Year installments after Santa Claus has brought you the necessary goods to continue on the lathe work.
Have a very safe and Happy Christmas with family & friends in the Lone Star state.
