The Home Machinist!

Friends –

I just sent out the latest version of my directory on 3.5“-gauge steam locomotives. We now have 92 entries – only 908 to go! Anyone who wants the list should send me their email address: “kant50(at)web(dot)de”.

Bill ,a note about Harry Austin's B&A hudson.To my knowledge it was not built with Langworthy' s castings. The drivers are the correct size for the B&A hudsons ,and Harry's engine was out before Langworthy had finished developing his. The B&A engines gad smaller drivers to better climb the Berkshires in western Mass.The square sand boxes were added for increased sand on the engines by the B&A.

we need to find out what has happened to this magnificent machine.
