k 27 wheels

Thanks Wizard .Not as many as it my seam .The brass flat stock and some of the bar stock is the only things I have had to buy that are really costly ,with the new traffs it has gone why up. . By casting the larger brass things I have saved alot.I have a friend who is a plumber so I get all his old brass fixtures . I had to build my furance and aquire some tools .But I have done very well at keeping the matrial cost down .I get alot of metal at a scrape yard also.Thanks Dale

 

I made some changes to these parts to be more like the real K27 .Just need to make some bolts of the right desi

 

Nice work Dale, well done.

 

Beautiful!

 

Well I have learned to use Fusion 360 .Here are a few of the parts I have made .This is just 2D Now the next thing will be 3D .Also here are some pic. of the ash pan.

 

Nice going Dale on learning Fusion.

Well, I fired my loco... Good and bad, everything worked good. The cyl. leaked a lot though, through the solder joints, I think I will put a sleave in the passages from the valves to the cyl. All in all not to bad.More work for this winter!

 

Dale, did you ever do a step by step on the wheel castings?

 

No, I have not. But I am willing to help you any way I can. Thanks
