Another steam loco
We through this little loco together yesterday and fired it this morning.
Run good in the garage where its warm but wouldn`t go on the big track outside as it was only 30 degrees.
Vids.

That's cool, Lenn. I really like the little village you have with the indoor track. Really cool stuff.
Great job.

Thanks Jason, the layout is pretty dusty and dirty from doing wood working projects.

I'm betting your favorite Christmas gift as a kit was your Erector Set....

Re: Another steam loco
I don't know how many times I've said this but my man Pitchy has everything needed for a museum...no b.s....on the first video I see a complete town as it was a hundred or more years ago. What most viewers have not noticed is the pick up truck behind the white and green shed with out-of-state tags (Maine) with a shadowy looking hombe peering around the corner.....on the upper right hand corner of the screen......the man wearing the Buffalo coat with sagging pockets.......

Re: Another steam loco
Oh come on now you guy's.
Oh, if anyone is looking, I got a really big overarm spring for sale. It's got a little cheese on it, but otherwise it's in nice shape.
Hey Lenn, I think something is wrong with that trap ol' Six was talking about. Looked like a part was missing......

Re: Another steam loco
Lenn, you'll have a long wait for warm weather won't you? Got down to a chilly 45 here this morning.
Re: Another steam loco
Been to cold Bill, remodeled the loco this morning, put a wall around part of it, looks better and it created a draft so flames go up the outside of the boiler which gave her a little more poop.

Re: Another steam loco
Got it to go around the out door big track today, just barely it was 40 above and light breeze which kills steam.
Should go good next summer.
