Going Loco

Postby Dalboy » 10 Jul 2020, 22:13

Not done much lately as I have been working on this little project.

Just finished this loco today made from all scrap wood 26" long. Finished with acrylic SS and Satin Lacquer spray cans which makes it easy to finish.
As can be seen plenty of turning involved, there are 18 wheels to start with three different sizes
