Jim, even if that is a "basic" build model as you say, who cares?
You have given this the same attention to detail that your other works have attracted.
Beautiful model!!

j&j, Jim
I may not have been commenting on the build but I have been following. I am by far not able to classify myself as a beginner as I have not made any models. I do enjoy watching the work in progress as it makes me feel part of the process. So please do not underestimate the power of a work in progress.
Great looking model.

Thanks Bret, it will be the locomotive, a basic Toys & Joys pattern. But it wont be anything like the classic locomotive that came out of Texas a couple of year's ago nor will it look like the masterpiece Keith is currently building in the Toy Section. It will be a coal burner with tender, I have started on the rail's already. Cheer's Jim.

Hi,
Nice model. But the gear leaver did not exist _ "The transmission, consisting of two forward gears and one reverse, was of the planetary type, controlled by foot pedals rather than the more common hand lever used in sliding-gear transmissions."
After talking about square nuts on Keith_1's thread, I will be getting a reputation as a spoil sport.

1917 Model T
Hugh, thanks for your comments re my Model T. My truck was fitted with 351ci Cleveland with a four speed box and a 9" ford diff. A little different to the original. Cheer's Jim.

Hi j&j,
Most of them now days have something like that. You must have shrunk the V8 some what to fit under the bonnet
The pedal configuration must have been interesting as well, one pedal in for low gear, out for high, another, in for reverse, out for forward. I don't know what they had for a clutch, breaks may have been a leaver as they would only have been on the back wheels and throttle could also have also been a hand leaver.
As I said a nice model, keep up the good works and don't let any of us nit pickers discourage you.
Actually it's a matter of opinion whether I was nit picking, showing off or just passing on info.
RegardsHugh

Will I didn't build the truck, but I would have put a gear shift lever in it if I had. I had never heard of what you speak, but I find it very informative and interesting. Wouldn't have changed how I would have built the model, but I hope you keep spreading your info. I like to learn.
