Quote:2-8-0 #4 is another story. I had her down for awhile while I converted her to an oil burner, and at the time noticed the crank pins were really worn. I had to drill out the counterweights and custom make new crank pins out of brass tubing and some 00-90 screws.
Been a while since I checked this thread, so forgive me if I quote a much older post. Drilling out counterweights, making new crankpins, etc. That's the narrow gauge spirit if I ever did see it! Make what you need with what you got or maybe you just don't need it!
Nice work, very nice, on the scenery. This is where it starts to get fun for me too. I remember finishing track laying on the timesaver...wasn't long before the foam was being carved.

I may not be a rivet counter, but I sure do like rivets!
