The Home Machinist!

How is the Docksider going, I have been waiting patiently for your arrival . I was talking with Morris Jr. the other day, and he was asking about machining the head light. I will tell him about this thread, so he can see some results.

Too Bad the 3/4" line is a thing of the past. Would have loved to have run there. Too many projects and not enough time.

This story to all to common today. well you are on the right track ( I think ) now.

Good choice Keith, I figured you would get around to it sooner or later.

Golden Spike ?

Great to see Keith Taylor back at it. Try a little Knob Creek in the "Masie " boiler, couldn`t hurt.

Pick up A Machinery Handbook ( Machinist H B) All of your questions will be answered.

Nice shot of "Masie" and "Wee Angus, Both 3/4" very similar in size.

No, I made the patterns from the originals. Bill had loose patterns, so I made a mold from those and used the reverse as the new pattern mounted on a match plate. You can`t beat the price.

Another great weekend @ PVLS, alas all good things must come to an end. I was happy to see so many of my Live Steam buddies in attendance. We all wish this will continue for sometime. Maybe there will be some photos of this event. Mostly Steam, especially on the High Line. NO rain, which was a welco...

I`m up @ ready for my adventure, OH! and there`s the sun. A great weekend ahead.

By bass fiddle ? I`m not going to touch that one. I hope U will be attending.
