Re: Railroad Warehouse 90-Ton Mikado – 7.25” Gauge Question?

Thanks Steve. I am selling a full kit on Discover Live Steam and an interested person is asking. I will say it’s possible if you are an experienced builder but the prints don’t document the needed changes. This 90-ton Mikado is a very interesting locomotive and would be fun to build but I have too m...

Re: How to Design Walschaerts Valve Gear

I agree with Berkman. Anthony, I believe you would have a huge Youtube following beyond live steam if you also posted videos on the CNC machining and thought process of your products if that doesn't go against your intellectual property protection. Of course, it takes time to create the videos. Take...

Re: First steam locomotive build-3/4" scale Raritan

Chris, Yes, SendCutSend is an excellent company to work with. Like others have said, once you submit an order, you typically have the parts in 5 business day or less. I have used them a lot in my other train hobby (full size motorcars/speeders, see NARCOA.org) for various metal thickness and types (...
