The Home Machinist!

Thank you all for the replies. I will have to search these out. Is there a book or anything out that is like, so you want to build a love steam locomotive, but for diesels?

Thank you,
Chris

Hey All, While I would like to build a steamer, and probably later on down the road, I am thinking of building a diesel locomotive first. I have been looking around the web and have seen kits for steamers, is there anything available like that for diesels? Like truck castings and the like? Any good ...

That is a nice looking mill!! How hard was it to add the dro to it?

Thanks,
Chris

Cool score. I'm working with low ceiling height and was wondering, what is the total height of a millrite?

Thanks,
Chris

David- If you are considering the Mich-Cal Shay you should also take a look at John Buckwalters 20 ton Shay: http://ngshay.com/home John is a frequent contributor to this board. He supplies castings and drawings to build a very nice loco. -Larry I have seen John's shay in person. I gotta say, it is...

Wow awesome friends you have there. But are you worried about your compressor picking up moisture from outside or anything? I see you are in Florida, but would you worry about cold weather with this setup?

Thanks,
Chris
