Greetings to everyone! I am posting the progress so far. Kindly have a look at the pic. It contains few parts we have machined so far. Thank You.

Greetings to all the honorable sir(s) here! I am extremely sorry I was away. I was busy day and night working on the steam engine. I actually forgot that this is a christmas season! Sir Leonard has been very kind and helpful all the time. He has explained me theoretically how the loco works and...

Greetings and good afternoon sir! I thank you for your kind consideration. Another reason why I suddenly jumped my heights of making a Big Loco was after seeing the mesmerizing videos of 'ALTONA miniature Railways' They were so cool and awesome! Why don't we have such clubs here?? The people...

Yes sir I will do that surely tomorrow! So now I will make a small Loco only which would act as a first step in my Model building career(a hobby). Once this is a success, later I will build a bigger loco for myself and perhaps one day start a Steam Model Club(inspired by Mr. Leonard and Mr...

Yes sir now I regret to have been talking him into allowing me to lift the allowed dimensions for the project. Tomorrow the team will be brainstorming and contributing some ideas on who is going to do what. May be then i ll be able to divide the work. So now I will make a small Loco only which...

Greetings Tin sir. Yes you are right. This is a team project. We are a team of four. But here they make teams based on the roll number. And all my other teammates are girls. So I don't want to put much pressure or work load on them. I will be a 'One man army' for time-being :) Thank You.

Greetings sir! I agree with what you said. Actually here in India, to make some small or model locos or bikes or cars needs no licensing or registration. No one cares about what innovation you have achieved. Else India wouldn't still be a 'Developing Country'. And as you mentioned, Yes my...

Greetings sir :) Okay I will do that starting tomorrow morning. Will collect as much as possible! Thank you.

Yes surely I will do that :)

Greetings again sir! Thank You for your encouraging words and support. And I wanted to say that I have begun the process of 'search and collect' raw materials from scrapyards, storeroom, etc! Very soon I will update the progress made so far. Thank You!

Greetings sir! I truly admire the words said by you. Those are the words and thoughts only an EXPERIENCED professor can express! Thank You :)

Hi! Let me tell you something. First of all nobody asked you here for some rude suggestions or insulting remarks. I am a student from Indian engineering college not any technical course college. NOTE: Many Famous and legendary scientists and engineers are from India I myself am person...

Okay sir I will start with this right away. Will keep updating about the status as it develops! Thanks.

Well I have access to a lathe, milling machine, drilling machine. But the machining process should be least or the machining of parts on those machines should be very less sir. Thanks.

I have been given time till January 15 2014 to get atleast a "partially or non-working" model ready and then again time till february 28th to get it working. Thanks. :)

Yes sir I have gone through the link you gave me. All the details and dimensions in all views are shown perfectly. But for that type of engine I should buy all raw materials from 'MARKET' and then machine them according to the dimensions. It would mean that I am deviating from my main theme...

Greetings Wizard! I absolutely agree with you in all aspects. But the theme itself is 'STEAM' !!!! There were few topics that were brainstormed by everyone and then chits were picked. We have to do the 'Steam Engine driven Greentrain' :) :)

Steve sir you are little bit right about that. My project requires me to make the engine using scrap or household materials. Efficiency has been removed from consideration. So all I need is to make the engine just efficient to pull atleast 3 wagons(light weight) on the tracks.

Greetings again Mr Tin! So, using a spring system for a safety valve would require accurate design calculations or trial and error method right? Also I am very very confused about the dimensions sir. I need a basic set of dimensions for the startup parts such a way that I am able to get them...

I live in Hubli, Karnataka, India sir. And I went through the awesomely written post by you on how to choose and start for the first engine. I have few questions What material is best suited for a boiler needed to produce steam to run the toy train pulling the coaches? How to easily or...
