Thanks Mike. I am trying to get her rolling for the Pres meet. Not sure if I will make it but really trying.

I hope you get her rolling but, if you don't, bring her anyway, I'd like to see what you have done in person.
See ya Bitter Creek.

Just picked up my new drill press so once assembled I can begin rolling at a more steady pace. No more scheduling conflicts or work issues to slow me down .

Here are some pics of where today has gotten me. Started this morning and after a few glitches on my end getting used to the new equipment things seemed to have turned out pretty good for my first project.

Nice work. I'm looking forward to seeing the completed project.
Something to consider, best practice for nested springs is for them to be wound in opposite directions.

is so the coils do not interfere with each other, but steps have been taken where that should not be an issue.redneckalbertan wrote:Just trying to understand. Why is that?Dick_Morris wrote:Something to consider, best practice for nested springs is for them to be wound in opposite directions.

Received the next 2 packages of parts from Chris Friday while I was playing trains at the BCWRR presidents run weekend. Got in the axles, wheels, sprockets, journals, bearings, gear box assembly, and cab doors. Can't wait to get the chassis on its wheels!
