Thanks Pete. This was a basket case I found at a swap meet.
I reproduced most of the plastic parts of the Hobbyline kit that were supposed to be used with the Simms chassis such as the main rods, crosshead and valve gear parts.

sumpter even tho i was born in 78 "yep getting older but dont let it get to me yet " I see things from the past and have learnt about life back then and your right a simpler time. I guess that's why a part of me wants the mid 50s era layout at times, just creates a peace that is very rare to find now days

An old friend is back


@e-paw, your photos look very interesting.
