After learning from my first build, ,,this time I used a 1X2 and clamped the bottom of the boiler down to keep everything straight and level.
I did not do it the first time.
Now the waiting game .
Yes Jerry B. I plan to use a whole new boiler top.

Good thing I have a meeting to go to tonight. Now it can dry over night.
I used very thin wall PVC pipe.

I also do castings during the waiting time.

No wonder you have building problems, Shinny side up, wheels go down towards the track, Its upside down. Geez, I have to tell you everything! LOL[/b]


You know Rex, I'd be careful how much teasin' you give the man. He might decide to charge you royalties for using his bridge in your signature :p

theres a few things not like the photo, but close enough. I need to take a revo out of another engine to fire this one up and test it.
I still have stuff in the front to do.

Its only two locos that I have always wanted

I still can't get this tender to sit lower. I have cut away as much as I can and installed smaller wheels.

I redid the coal load.

Time to think about work again...

Marty, that REALLY looks nice! Sorry to hear about your soundboard. I did that recently in trying to modify a couple of Phoenix 2K2 boards so that they wouldn't need the little 3.6 volt battery to give "idle" sounds. I felt pretty dumb too!!!!

I stiull want to lower the tender some. And as Rex said ,I "had" to install 1/8" spacers to lower the motor block bcause any dip in the track, the end trucks would hold it up off the rails.
tomorrow night..
