Phil, Nice work. I see you're trying to drill out between the spokes. Tough going. I wonder if there aren't just 68" equivalent HO or O scale drivers out there that would make life easier? Have you considered what to do with the valve gear, rods etc.? Might look all the more crude next to scale drivers.
You know there's a pent up demand for this type of service. Might be a new cottage industry for you. :) Chris Borgmeyer Westfield Center, OH AF driver machining Posted by: "Phil" [email protected] [email protected] Thu Nov 25, 2010 12:39 pm (PST) All that talk last week about converting AF steamers to scale got me fired up so I horse traded with a friend for a couple of basket case steam engines so I could see what was involved with machining the drivers down to scale dimensions. I took them down to code 110 thickness and made new steel tires with scale flanges. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/S-Scale/photos/album/1199663555/pic/1638191131/view?picmode=&mode=tn&order=ordinal&start=1&count=20&dir=asc Oh yeah Bill Lane I'm another one of your Lurkers coming out of the wood work.
