In the past few months I have been able to do a lot of work on the project, so will attempt to document what has been done the past few years (my they do fly by!), bring the project up-to-date, and keep up the description until finished. So I hope that this thread will be interesting.
I figure that I am at least the fourth owner of this adventure. What I bought 10 years ago consisted of longitudinal frames, with driver axle boxes fitted, much of the brake rigging parts, the trailing truck sans springs or spring rigging, the pilot truck, the cradle, the drivers mostly machined, and a few other bits and blobs. And some drawings. The original builder fabricated much of what is currently available, instead of using castings that are now available from John Kurdzionak at Friends Models. Curiously, there are a few parts fabricated in duplicate. This photo shows two crosshead guide yokes (Part No. 1129) and two frame crossties (Part No. 1134). Only one of each is needed.
No, it is 1.6” scale. But the same type loco…
