I like you fixtures to finish out the elbows, I intend to copy them. Thank you for posting.

Welcome Manny, I was lucky enough to attend a high school that held "Industrial Arts" classes. Freshman thru Junior years and I took all that were offered. Drafting, woodwork and metal work were taught. It was the ground work for a 30 year career in aerospace after my tour in the Corps...

Looking forward to seeing it run.

What a lovely engine. I bought that kit from Coles 40 some years ago. Had fun machining everything, but got tangled up in how to make it run, so put it on a shelf. Hope you have better luck.

I enjoy your builds very much and I always learn.

I always enjoy your unique solutions to problems I didn't even know I had.

What an elegant solution! My first engine build 40 years ago was a very simple 3 cylinder oscillator with simple sheet metal connecting rods that had to be bent to eliminate interference.

Like you I am right handed with most everything, however I taught myself to use the mouse left handed because I found I needed my right hand to do most of the typing on the keyboard.

Very interesting Lathe and ambitious build. I will be watching and learning.

Joe Pie is great. I have learned more from him about machining technics than anywhere else.

I am sure this has been done somewhere, sometime, but I have never seen it and I like it.

I will be watching also, keep posting your progress.

A thing of Beauty. Thank you for sharing. That was no small undertaking. Do you have a video of it running?

Really great photos and descriptions. I have one question, how did you 'bell out' the chimneys?

What a great idea - thanks for sharing.

Ron, Thank you for sharing your video and sketch. Your layout shows your commitment to every detail. To depicting with accuracy the life of a small village on a railroad line.

Brian, I just stumbled on this thread and watched from the beginning. You are incredible with your life time support of your projects. My hat is off to you.

Someday my son will be faced with this same problem. I will give him these hints for future reference.

Way out of my league, but I enjoy seeing the ultimate craftsmanship in action. Keep it coming.
