The Home Machinist!

Can you provide dimensional information and/or a photo with a scale for the PN light kits? I'm also interested in more info on the gauge lighting kit. Thank you.

I'm exploring the lost wax option for the Gregg Patent couplers I am drawing up now. That said, I need to look at the Ulin couplers as well. Overall the Shapeways experiment has proven worthwhile.

Dan,

Nice work! What type of cane cars are you building?

That's why I said "not cheap"... I had to seriously debate getting one for myself! When I figured the time it would take to hog one out of solid material... Well still a tough decision.

I'm interested. I am modeling Hawaiian railroad equipment in 2.5" scale and there are some instances where the Diamond plate would be terrific.

Thank you.

I recently uploaded and printed on Shapeways a 2.5" scale Link and Pin Coupler for the Chloe based upon the prototype now at Orange Empire Railway Museum. Shapeways is a 3D printing company that will print the parts in metal using a process similar to lost wax. While not cheap, they are an alte...

As the Executive Director of the NHRA Motorsports Museum I invite you to visit and, if not in the area, take time to attend one of our Hot Rod Reunions. The Museum presents three Reunions per year in Bakersfield, CA; Bowling Green, KY; and, Epping, NH. The Reunions are a three ring circus of nostalg...

Jack,

Looking forward to seeing some of the small stuff. One of our RLS members just picked up an LBSC 'Tich' and could surely use some pointers.

Looking forward to a great Meet

Jack,

Cheers,
