The Home Machinist!

We ( Little Engines) have buckeye trucks. However, are currently out of stock on the castings. I anticipate to have more in a few months.. If you are in a hurry, I agree with Jack and contact Jim.

Having known a fair amount of people that retired, and then went to pursue their lifelong hobby dreams only to pass away before they ever got anything finished, I think it's money well spent. Jesse, what do you estimate the build time at on one of these kits? When you say plumbing isn't included, i...

The kit will be very similar to the Mogul kit OS used to offer. That kit was offered at $19,950 back in 2010.

Jeff Tolan, The steam was welded on towards the end. Since this boiler was built, we developed/brought back an old/new throttle design we will be using. It was originally in the Baldwin Mogul. I believe we can make it work in the American as well. See photos.

The boilers we build for the American are all steel. They have 31 - .375" OD seemless tubes. All TIG welded together. The Boiler is 5.5625" OD throughout. There are two flue configuration options, the .375" OD flue (31) or .500" flue (20). We ran our American for 5 hours straight pulling 5-6 Adults....

We are currently working on new patterns, design changes and more for the small scale line. It is going to come back.
