I just happened upon your video, never seen anything quite like this before. I wished I had the patients to do something like that. My hats off to you.
Thanks, It started out as a Friends kit, but I replaced most of the castings with fabrications.. I think of the 50 or so castings I had, I'm only using about 15 of them..
Yes, I will do a firebox wrapper, with all the rivets..
Fantastic loco,and what a superb workshop,I'd love a workshop like that in a basement,especially with a Bridgport and a decent lathe,maybe oneday.............
I've got enough tools and equipment to do all my projects and more,just lacking space!!
Is...is that Santa's workshop? LOL...I wanna train for Christmas...lol, man that is a very nice shop well equipped for what you need and spacious, very nice.
COOL!! love the B&A cant wait to see it all painted up!! nice!

would you be willing to share the plans for the docksider so I could scale them for 1 inch. I plan to scratch build the loco.

Very nice shop and projects there!
By chance do you still remember the price of the castings for the Docksider?

@Rockinrailroader765 I don't have any castings for sale for the B&O Docksider, sorry...

@jjh122 So I assume those are of your own.I was guessing they were Railroad Supply castings.

Nice and smooth. Was this a Lester Friends? Are you going to make a correct rivet count firebox cover sheet?

Hello, The rivets are "embossed" from the back side, and are cosmetic only....
Thanks for looking
