    Default Locomotive & Tender

    My next project is a Toys & Joys model of a Coal Burning Locomotive & Tender. It wont be of the calibre of Bret's classic engine, nor will it compare with the masterpiece Keith is building at the moment. It will be a slow build but it should be an interesting build. This is the start, the rail's are two different moulding's I purchased from Bunning's & the sleeper's are just 15mm x 8mm moulding's, straight off the saw & still to be sanded & shaped. Cheer's Jim.

    Oh, Boy, another build!!!!!!!! I'd probably get something built if I didn't spend so much time watching these other builds, but, I learn so much and enjoy it so much.

    Default Locomotive & Tender

    We got a bit of start today, first we have the base with the three hole's for drive wheel axel's, then the front wheel block & the piston holder. Last is how it will be when assembled. These three piece's are basically the support for the loco. Cheer's Jim.

    Default Locomotive & Tender

    I made a few more bit's & piece's up today. First is the cow catcher, it look's a bit ordinary now but should tidy up ok. Next we have the boiler support & the pilot beam. Last as usual is the whole lot just sitting together. Regard's Jim.

    You certainly don't let the glue dry on one model before you are off again on another. Looking good so far and another model for me to follow
