The Home Machinist!

Andy, not to derail your project post but would you elaborate a little more on the CAD/Shapeways/foundary process? Those parts are beautiful! What kind of quantities? How do costs compare on 3D printed parts to cast pieces? I recently created a G-scale driver I was considering and found 3D printed n...

I found this interesting, the same thing in g-scale!

Head out to Riverside, I believe there is one there?

(A frequent suggestion around here: If you put your location in your signature that will help others. I searched old posts and found a reference to Disney barn.)

John, just FYI Mainline Modeler covered the prototype with drawings of Virginian C-1 caboose Nov, Dec '02, Jan & Feb '03. Keith Jackman sells (sold?) a very complete set of drawings for the SP C-30-1 caboose. Drawing Package https://www.chaski.org/homemachinist/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=105895 (4...

Ed Hume (sometimes of these forums) has written a beautiful book about building a Class 'A' climax that is geared (no pun intended) towards CNC users.

Becker? after it moved to Hollywood. This referenced that same No. 26 catalog. They were sold to Texas? next, I n...

two 12v batteries wired in parallel for 24v total Make sure you check that information again! What you stated is not true, PARALLEL gets you +12V (but more current) SERIES gets you +24V (same current). Is it a incandescent bulb or LED? LED polarity matters, bulb does not. (I have 20-yr old Cannonba...

Mr_Blonde, Thanks for the information! Do you have any sharable diagrams (without violating someone's copyright) of the tenders? I don't think I would be able to share the diagrams. The book and drawing are both available for purchase. If you are on the fence, I would buy the Diagram of Tenders for...
