Re: Driver wheels profile

Hello Greg, got my first locomotive 3 years ago. Didn't know I would need a new shop with a lathe & mill. Plus the new out building required HVAC. Oh well. "Celebrating 35 years of turning perfectly good metal into bits of useless scrap." GOT IT Check this out I'm 78 with no background...

Re: Driver wheels profile

Not the same wheel, this is a 1.6 scale engine. Do you think I need to have it turned?

I have a IBLS wheel gauge, but I'm not sure how to use it. Is there a how to sheet somewhere?

Thank you

Columbia 2-4-2

what would a Columbia 2-4-2 normally pull? The engine is so small as are the wheels...not a lot of traction. I'm looking for a riding car, can't always go alone. A nice used car of scale would be nice.
Thanks
Tom

Re: Power feed for mill table

If the kit has this mounting it is for a Bridgeport.
