Building one of Rudy's steamers

As for what comes next, well, the shop needs a good clean, and some tooling needs making before I start on another engine. Hopefully it won't be too long before the next one gets started!

Been nearly two months now. Was your shop that messy? ;D
Sounds like rubbish to me. :big:

Hey! Git that stick outta my back. I've been doing stuuffff. Gears, springs, spindle adapter, dividing head rebuild. All put up here as tech articles. Plus my regular camera repair job so I get to eat, you know!

I'm working on the Jerry Howell burner right now, Zee, but John already has a thread going for those, so I'll wait until he's done before I put anything up about that.

I have a few different engines in mind, and was almost settled on one when you and Arnold got me thinking about a small loco. Now I'm in flux, again.

Basically, it's all your fault.

Rubbish.

Okay okay...the tech articles were awesome and immensely worthwhile.
But I haven't heard any other good reasons. You need to play a family card for that.

;D

P.S. I do my poking from the front.

Okay. I had to take care of my mom's dog for three weeks while she was out of town on vacation.

It's a big dog.

Dean,
That is one excellent looking engine and it runs so smoothly. The finish and the different colors of the engine and wood are striking. I don't think there's anything as nice looking as a slow running steam engine. Great job!!!!

Thank you very much, George!

Nice. Two cards in one sentence...Mom and a pet. Those are good cards.
That buys you a little time.
A little.

Yeah, Zeep's bugging me about my locomotives, too. Just ignore 'im.

:big: There's only one cure Dean ! :big:
I've got my dad doing the same stick-poke thing to me, if that's any consolation :big:

Kind regards, Arnold

This thread would be fantastic except that all of the pictures are missing for around the first 29 pages. Is this just on my computer or are they actually not there? Is so is there anyway to get the complete thread?

 

[Cogsy]

It's not your computer - the pics are gone and there's no way to bring them back I believe.

Hi Dean

Beautiful runner!! Congrats

Al,

You will also find a lot of my earlier posts have pictures missing, all due to a faux pas by Photobucket a few years ago, where they accidentally deleted 2,500 of my pictures. Luckily I had copies of them all.

They could be resurrected to the posts as all my pictures have now been re-uploaded to P/B, but unfortunately with a different URL for each one, so I would need actual access to the posts to enter the new URLs, but the posts seem to be permanently locked.

A failure on this sites' software.

John
