May, 2008: The
photos show a front and side view of the entire chassis, a side view of
the rear 6 wheel truck and a side view of the front 2 wheel pilot truck. The
valve gear supports are actually the wooden patterns that have yet to be
cast. I hope to have them finished sometime this summer. The frames are fully
welded and I am getting ready to fininsh silver soldering the steam passages
in the fabricated cylinders. Once the remaining castings are finished, they
will be machined and work will begin making the 4 baker valve gear assemblies
and the 4 sets of connecting rods. The 12 drive wheels have been cast and
machining them will begin soon. Since I am
still a couple of years away from finishing, I will send updated photos as
the work progresses. |

This is a fun project I made
with a motor salvaged from an inkjet printer. |
