Hi Tinkerer's & maniac builders~,

Like me or hate me, I thought this time I'd just post a bunch of pics from a build I did a few years ago showing that brass oxidation, ridiculous solder blobs & scratches can still make a pretty cool runner and conversation piece around any layout.

While I noticed a couple pics out of sequence (no worries) I know you guys have an IQ over me and will figure it out by the next pic. I'm just going to let the pics speak for themselves and if you have a question(s) or thought then lay it on me!

This is a bit long (my apologies), but as always I hope these pics either inspire you to do yours or give you ideas on how to tackle the really tough job of figuring out how to add full Dcc sound and a ton of working lights and all wheel pickups to a Vanderbilt type steam engine with no visible wires showing while on the tracks. The only dumb question is the one not asked.

Let's see how this thread does? Thanx Thom...
















































































































































































































































































































The End! I'm sorry the last pic of the firebox is blurry. Thanx Thom...
