The Home Machinist!

I have a set of castings for Dinky. Haven't started on it yet.

Machined from solid. I've done many wheels in my time.

I finally got around to assembling all the parts for 9 pairs of trucks. The 10th pair is almost finished. I have rolling stock in desperate need of trucks. All have ball bearings. Side frames were counterbored for the bearings. I did the 88 wheels a few years ago and was able to obtain the sideframe...

I wonder if those days ever existed at all. I do not agree with this statement. I took HIgh School shop for 3 years ...

I bought a set of castings and drawings for Dinky. I just got the frame material. It's a nice little engine.

Hi John
Apparently , that is the key that is used on the 3 jaw chuck. Remember, it's a small lathe. If I can't find one, I'll make it for my friend.
One of my mills is set up for indexing only.

It's the one on the left side of the photo.

This one is 3'4" CPR Jubilee. It was my Dad's favourite. I still run it on my track.

Hi
Just wonder if anybody has a spare chuck key or chuck with key for sale. Maybe somebody has a spare hanging around. My friend, who is on long term disability, was given the lathe and he would like to start using it. I would gladly pay for it.
Thanks
