Nicely done, Sir.

Rust, sounds like you might need a low heat tool storage solution in your new shed.
Had to nip into my shed this evening to to turn up a drilling guide bush for local farmer whilst he waited, the tools in the the storage draw felt warm to the touch and the cabinet (old set of kitchen draws) only has an 11 watt bulb in it, on 24/7.

Nice start on the Loco. Have you got somewhere to run it or will you be setting up your own track?
I used to go to the show in Guildford every year when I lived over that way.

You are already doing in days what a starter to the subject might take weeks whilst tackling the learning curves involved with new machines.

I’m struggling with a sense of scale though. How big will the finished loco be?
