Re: Home Railway Journal - relaunching in 2014
Patience Ben. My new director-level position at a Fortune 500 company has stolen literally every moment of my time. HRJ 2014 will be coming, but a little later than expected. I've got my 2 1/2" gauge TOBY, a new paint technique for live steamers, and a great way to restore old books & magaz...

Re: "Catherine", a USA "Sweet Pea" engine build
Over the course of the week my shop mentor carefully assembled the wheels to the axles, ensuring that they were square and perfectly in gauge. When we dropped the finished wheel/axle assemblies into the frame one went easily and one didn't. Fearing that the horns had somehow become misaligned and m...

Re: HRJ 2014: The TOBY project
I already have a narrow-gauge steamer under construction, and being a Tallylyn Railway fan, I would probably redesign some things to reflect that. More to the point, without a 2.5" gauge track around I wouldn't have anywhere to run it! Hey Ben. I thought Finger Lakes had a small gauge track? P...

Re: "Catherine", a USA "Sweet Pea" engine build
The Great Train Show in Albany, NY is being held on 12/01. I am hoping to have a rolling chassis to demonstrate at that time. The rods and valve gear will not be done, but at least the basic frame and wheels will be visible. I sure wish I had a fully equipped shop so that I could get more stuff don...

Re: HRJ 2014: The TOBY project
So what do you plan to do with these drawings? Make the parts available to readers who want to build the engine themselves? Are you just drawing them up for your engine? Have you started building it yet? My plan is to finish up the drawings and then make up a few sets of parts for my build. I'll of...

Even a simple four wheel tender deserves brass spectacles.

Re: HRJ 2014: The TOBY project
Ok that sounds fine. At first I thought you might try to actually fire and operate it through the door, but in 1/2" scale, I just could not figure out how you would go about doing that. If you look at my files for the B4, I plan to put the roof back in place on angles. The part that is left ou...

Re: HRJ 2014: The TOBY project
Hey Chris, Nice looking tender! How do you fire and operate the locomotive with that extended cab piece on the tender? Hey Stu. I am designing the roof and rear wall of the tender to be removed when running. I'm not sure if it will clip in or slide in or what, but it will be removable. I don't have...

Re: HRJ 2014: The TOBY project
So without cutting an inch of metal, I can see what it's all going to look like.
