Casey, I'm glad you got the drawings OK. Sorry I don't have more. Call or email me if you have questions. I think the German laser cut frame comes with the valve rod parts. 'They are the key to making the loco work but will take a little work to get the play out of the system. I can help you on that when you get there.

Casey, No payment needed, I'm happy to help out. Just have fun with it , that will be payment enough. I used a Roundhouse Lady Anne boiler on mine, it is a little bigger in diameter and a couple of inches shorter than I would have liked. If you can build your own that would be great. I am not bold enough to do that.
