The Home Machinist!

I recently broke one in the last hole in a complicated hard aluminum part. Not a worry. There are some videos on YouTube too that’ll get you in the ballpark. I think you’re all set being in brass, not steel out of steel though with this trick. I took my firebricks and made a fireplace, clean of oil ...

Glad you got to the tracks and had a good time. Definitely some great visiting, riding, trains, plenty of food. Maybe we'll get some insulated ponchos vs Mother Nature next time.....nah. Good to see you Bill, Pat that was me talking to Jim at the workshop trainshed. Maybe been ten years Jack? You al...

Hey Glenn,.. David might've dug that far...he does some nice work,

Yep, that sure looks the part, I hope it comes out well for what you guys are after, nice job.

Paul

Looking good chum, Great job!

It sure was a great weekend, endless track and laughter with the solid circle of friends.

Hey Keith,
First weekend of October this time round, early this year, likely Friday as well and straggling Monday,

Cheers,
Paul

Outstanding! Nice looking ride!!
Congratulations!

Not that far off! See you all soon or sooner

Evgen, I think by knowing which loco is your favorite to see, and see built and running. I know someone building a NYC Hudson that hogged the tender bed casting from one piece, he is certainly happy with building it for it to see him through that. For me it's an ugly duckling K-28. Making first part...

I am sure you will find something that intrigues you.
I do pretty well building, but if I had the talent some of my friends do, building a monumental beast, for me, would be a 2-6-6-6 Allegheny.

Looking forward to watching you build,
Paul

Jim, still no details, Kit felt good enough to come to the club on Friday, so Phil drove down. He seemed good, impish self as usual, while I was talking to Kit in the car before they left he got out and handed me their dinner money for the 60th meet, told me to get up to the house to have some brass...
