The Home Machinist!

Tom Artzberger did sell these in the past. I have a set he designed and made casting for. Worth asking him if he’ll make more.

Perhaps you mean GWR? Great Western Railway, not GNR. 5100’s were the large tank 2-6-2’s. Trevor Shortland drew a particularly nice design. Reeves still sells castings. Station Road Steam has a part built 1” scale for sale.

Interested. Could you pm me cost to pack and ship to Pembina ND?

Rent some time on an HBM. Tis what they were designed to do.

Good looking engine and congrats on making it available again. Questions: would you cast the drivers out of ductile iron? Better for off road excursions... Second: any time frame on drawings?

Good work!

I've been guilty of problem #3....

Agree there are not enough people in the hobby. Makes designers who have produced incredible designs such as Don Young, Jim Krieder, Kozo Hiroaka all the more remarkable, just to name a few.

Gerry Penrose's drawings were published in Live Steam mag in the mid 1970's. Unfortunately, he did copy Martin Evan's design, dropping one driver, including Martin's mistakes. Martin Evan's had a habit of doing an approximation of the prototype- if you are using NYC drawings you may be better off do...

I don't need them, but I have to say, I appreciate when people selling items take the care to make it obvious what important dimensions are.

Tom was reachable via the email on his PLE site Hartford Shops, www.tacllc.biz as of two years ago. Hopefully he's still active.

Fluctuating steel prices driving you nuts?

Btw, Is there any 2.5" scale K27's boilers coming up at your place?

Interested in a 2.5" scale Nathan Moniter.
