Hi Everyone, Here is a photo of my partners Brazil Build which is not yet completed the cylinders have been made but not attached. Still a fair bit of machining to do. This loco as mentioned in previous threads is scratch built from plans.The boiler is made out of copper pipe,the side frames are made out steel wheels are machined from steel off cuts. The smoke box and firebox are made out of solid brass. This is a gas fired locomotive, can be converted to coal.Will post more as the build gets closer to finishing.The actual loco is a Kerr Stuart called the Brazil. Regards, Gloria.
He is a very clever chap! I love to see real engineering in miniature, I wish I could do as good a job! Pete.
