DaCHeez, nice set there. I have an A and B, but both are shells, the dummy A unit has a chassis but no trucks. Some day I hope to get them on wheels.
My LOTW of the week is a British design, not sure what exactly it is. Haven't researched it yet. But I like it.

Why do they have to make the back end armature shaft stick out so much?!?! I see no point in that.

What's the gauge of this loco anyway?
Ken - What Jerry could do to replace that safty valve is get a pushpin like it & paint it gold

A recent repair of a classic American Flyer. Bought it last summer for $35! Needed new wiring, truck springs and a contact shoe. Great runner and the smoke is phenomenal!

I guess I noticed, to some degree. Anyway, if you do find one, I'll be happy to pay for it, no question! I DO intend to keep it, Ben notwithstanding...LOL

Hey Romcat,
Very cool! Did I mention needing brass flywheels? By the way, are those shell casings I see?

Hey Hypo,....
No, the guy I got it from does custom pens.... I'm chasing a Uni 3 now to replace one of my DB200's then I'm after a Myford lathe and I'll get rid of either the Uni 3 or Sherline.... after I've evalled them.
Btw, I have a Machining friend that has about every calibre of Ammo (he's been a gunsmith for about 55 years. Awesome guy you'd like him.... he's my primary machining mentor. I visited him at Christmas while I was in NY.

Update,
Since the Sherline I've added two lathes. (That will make 6 in total now!) Gonna sell my Atlas 6x18 and one of the Unimats....I'll add the two new lathes in the next two weeks LotW!
and yeah Hypo Buddy I'll be making custom flywheels and gears. Who knows maybe a few frames when I get a larger Mill.
