Re: New Project-Little Engines New Northern
Oh I'm not giving up, just delayed a little. I plan on making a lot of progress this coming year.
Re: New Project-Little Engines New Northern
I totally understand.
My new Mikado took 10 years to "mostly" build (It's running now, but some details remain.)
5 years of construction and 5 years of interruptions!
...due to new intensive employment, home re-construction, move to a different State, knee replacement, wife's stroke, car wreck...
Same ol' same ol'...
But we made it!
Looking forward to watching your progress.

Coming along nicely. A 4-8-4 is like building 2 locos!

Re: New Project-Little Engines New Northern
Thanks. I am way behind where I should be but things are looking good in the months coming up. I hope to be a lot further along by next summer.Glenn Brooks wrote: ↑Sat Sep 07, 2019 12:38 am Coming along nicely. A 4-8-4 is like building 2 locos!
Your "Cinder Ella" by the way looks great. I grew up riding behind that.
Re: New Project-Little Engines New Northern
Making some progress. Started on the cross heads and painted the trailing truck frame, binders and made the spring hangers.[
Re: New Project-Little Engines New Northern
Had a little glitch in the trailing truck drawings, got that taken care of. TT suspension is getting close, then onto the rockers and assembly.
Re: New Project-Little Engines New Northern
I have slowly been making progress. Got a little more done on the Trailing Truck, will be working on it again tomorrow.
Re: New Project-Little Engines New Northern
Been slow going due to house projects but I have gotten some done. Rockers almost done.
