The construction guidelines document contains the exact pictures you are looking for: http://highironranch.com/bobber/BobberC ... elines.pdf
The pictures show every piece laid out with a list of what is in each picture.

Thanks!

Would love to see photos of the kit components unbuilt for reference.

Thanks

Sorry: I was familiar with the terms 3/4", 1", 1-1/2" and 2-1/2" (with = 12" unsaid) =, but had not heard of 1-3/4".

It is indeed obscure.

I am not in need, but exactly what scale is "1 3/4" ? Your possible customer may be puzzled too?

1 3/4" equals 12" in real life. It is the correct scale for modeling two foot prototypes on 3 1/2" gauge. Not sure how this could be puzzling.

New 3D printed parts being released in our store this week: vacuum brake cylinder, brakewheel w/ratchet & pawl, stake pockets, end sill washers, pipe fittings, K brake cylinder, and more. These will be offered in multiple scales, and can be custom printed to any size you might need. This is a durabl...

So... I missed out on the actual sale, but I'm still very interested in the running gear. Does anyone recognize this? Any ideas on who the builder was or what design they used? It is a narrow gauge engine on 7 1/4". https://www.discoverlivesteam.com/discoverforsale/forsale/8_Richards/index.htm?fbcli...

Hi folks. I've got some "factory seconds" available now in our store. They were cut using a low power laser, and thus failed to meet our stringent production standards. With some work, they will serve you well. http://www.adirondack.x10.mx/store/index.php?route=product/product&search=steam&product_i...

ADK - Have you produced the spoked wagon wheels? Are they available? Did you produce the also produce the pedestals? I'm considering building some 2 axle cars and I really like your designs. Timmy Hi Timmy. Wheels tend to sell out before they even arrive at my location. Drop me a message to set up ...

So... After completing the design for the D&RGW trucks on 3 1/2" gauge, I had some time to model a different construction method that would utilize investment cast sideframes and bolster. While I do feel it better replicates the prototype, I'm not sure if it is worth the additional effort and cost. ...

Hi folks. Would someone be able to convert 2 Solidworks files for me to IGES and STEP formats? I need to print them for a friend.

Thanks!
