Last Updated 17-Sep-2009 - What's New I have not updated this site in quite a while, but that does not mean I haven't been busy on the locomotive. I have put most of the photo in sub-section called Picture Repository. I will format sections, apply some text, and put them on the main page as time permits. Also, the Contact Me (below) is broken. I'll try to fix it soon. |
| Any question or comments? Contact me. |
| This is not intended to be a how-to article. There are setups and operations that could be used in your construction. Also, I have placed some drawings and some detailed instructions for some items here. |
| I started on, or about, Thanksgiving 2004. I spend Tuesday nights at the shop of Gordon Carlson. Great machinist and mentor. He is building a class C shay. See some photos at http://www.locogear.com/page15.html |
