Hi All, sorry for the long absents it's been a rough year. The worse is I had a stroke, but I am overcoming it. Here is a picture of some of the things I have worked on. I have had to learn a lot of things all over again. Hopefully, this year will be better.

Glad you are better. Strokes are nasty. Had one in 07 and had I had to relearn much.

Well, I have had a couple of days to work on my Loco. Things have been slow for me. But I have overcome my stroke fairly well. I still have a lot to relearn but it is coming along pretty well. Here are a few pictures of the trucks for the tender. The truck frames were a fun project to do. I milled a lip on the backside of the gigs so that they would sit on the top edge of the vise. to many part to try to hold all at one time, so that made it a lot easier to work with.

Here is my jig and how I held it on the vise.

It's been long time sense I have posted. I have had two more surgeries. Very rough ones, but I am back in the shop. I made a hoist so I don,t have to lift all these heavy things.

Glad you are hanging in there.

I had to build a hoist to get things up and down the stairs.

Hoists are a game changer for sure.
