The Home Machinist!

Great video you found, another guy posted the same video but that only featured the Live Steam Portion with the wrong audio and sound. But, looking at this, this is one of my inspirations to get involved in the live steam hobby. Here's a bit of information on each segment: Ollie Johnston Ollie's bac...

Aside from my dream engine of an 4-8-4, I love the the RRSC 2-8-2 as well and it would be cool to Pull off a Model of Grand Canyon 4960. The gear is pretty close to the 4960 and all you really need is to build the Tender that the 4960 carries, and pull something for the trucks, but I would be great ...

2926 lives at riverside...and when my 3463 hudson is finished we will be double heading alot I am sure....we crunched some numbers and the two beasts are darn near perfectly squared with each other. so now...if anyone knows anything about the drawings done for 5011.....I would be very interested in...

Oh BTW, the LALS 3100 is slowly being rebuilt. Chris Wow that's awesome!! :) When was the last time Peter was down at LALS? I hope he and his train will make an appearance at next year's Spring Meet, his 4-8-4 is my dream locomotive one day. I heard that Bruno Platzer was working on the NKP Berkshi...

My first live steam expierience was at LALS when I was about 7. Some of the first steam locomotives I've ridden behind has been Lew's Santa Fe 5011, Peter Nott's 2925 and even the old LALS Club Owned LE 4-6-2 Union Pacific 3100. But the locomotive I would love to build is a 4-8-4, I loved riding beh...

Jesse,

Are you guys going to put in 1" Scale eventually? Thanks, and Keep on Steamin my Friend!!

These WV Baby 2-8-0 are a dime a dozen, and Eber has a great find on his hand!! Hey, If Bill welded all the boilers for the WVCs, did Bill ever build one for himself? What's the History on the Prototype? Thanks!! Keep on Steamin my Friend!!

David

Its looking Great Matt!! I heard from John DeR. or Chris M. at LALS that they were recieving riding cars from Chippewa Northwestern but haven't seen anything down there, but yours seems shorter than the ones over there CNW (no pun intended ... Lol). How long is your version going to be? Thanks. Keep...

Mike,

That is excellent craftsmanship!! Whats left to finish on the Box Car and Will it make an appearance at BCWRR in Feb for the Presidents Day Run? Keep on Steaming' my Friend!!

BTW, we finally located an unfinished west valley engine and acquired it, so we no longer are looking for one. Thanks for the interest.

That's awesome!! Where did you guys find it?

Matt, I found this on the LALS Website. Here is what appears to be Peter Mosely on 1" Scale 0-6-0 and father looking on. This has been my inspiration to go 1" Scale and I agree with Matt on the fact that 1" is magical and there is a certain something that gives 1" its uniqueness....
