No doubt this is going to be a beautiful engine. Your base with the track and gravel look great.

Locomotive & Tender
The Locomotive is finally finished. The build was approximately 60 hours. Timber's are mainly Australian red cedar, red carabeen for everything above the boiler, silver ash for the moulding's & tulipwood for the inserts in the boiler. Many thanks to Handyjack for a "stack" of technical info & also to Pete & Keith for photo's during the build. Also thanks to everybody who commented & the many "like's" along the way. I hope you all like it, I believe it turned out quite presentable & I had a lot of fun building it. Cheer's & Regard's Jim.

Looks really great. I like the way you have made a type of MCB coupling for the tender. Keep it away from me as I would want to move it on the track. Wish I had the time and tools to make such an item.
If ever you feel like it you can build some carriages to form a train.

Locomotive & Tender
I had a major brain fade earlier, I neglected to thank a good friend, who without his help this project would not have been completed. Peter McAlpine was my wood turner. Thanks mate. Regard's Jim

Jim,
What everyone said!
Great work.....I spent the last hour catching up. Been busy with family things but don't know how I lost track of your build.
Anyway, glad I found it again.
Regards,
Jim
