Thanks Lou! It stalled because of chain drive and modeling burn-out. I will most likely change the original design to shaft driven. I'm bad about finishing.

The engine looks great, looking foward to seeing the boiler finished. Roland

Thanks Steve. I will get back to the bench when all the rest of the 1:1 stuff is taken care of.
no time at the present.....
Quick question...Were belaying pins used on a vessel such as the Maru? Such as an deck anchor when tying off barges etc?
Glad your doing some modeling again!

Philip, I enjoyed the website. I can look at old photos for hours. There are many people here in Leslie Mi from Kentucky, most moved here during the depression. I know a lady from Monkeys Eyebrow (near Missouri)I'm sorry to here about your brother, my wife's cousin has ALS. Today was the first day since my brother's passing that I had time or inclination to work on any of my On30 stuff.Busy with reenacting, gardens etc. Steve

did manage a visit to the old stomping ground in green castle kentucky. Put up a free little website
www.green-castle-ky.weebly.com most likely bore you to death. stomped around the old lock and dam after many years was pretty cool.

Philip, I has been a while since my last visit, slow but sure works. Nice steam engine. I haven't seen one like that before. Good choice on the boiler. Keep at it.

you didn't miss much.I work at a snails pace
Yep.. center boiler is my choice also. The bigen has a slight can't to the stackI'm going to cast it once all the details are added. May be awhile........I'm in no hurry, lots going on in the reality world at present. :crazy:

Philip - I may have missed something down the line:
I hope you chose the center boiler in the above pictures. (JMO)
The engine is done nicely and I think goes best with the center boiler. (again JMO)
Keep up the good work!!!
OH yeah!!! Glad you chose the metal roof too.... ;-)
