Over the past few years, I have been busy working on various projects that I thought may be of interest to other large scale model railroading enthusiasts. One of the most challenging projects was Building the Daylight. She steamed up for the first time last October and have been working on some improvements and finishing up the details. The Tender is basically done except for some detailing.
Here's where I am so far on Building the Daylight. Still need to get the skyline casing made and installed, wiring/lighting, install the injectors, and other odds and ends.
It's running great and holds a head of steam around the track. Can go about 12 hours on a 40 lb propane cylinder. "Loosening" up the drawbar to allow for twisting and up/down movement was the trick. No more front truck derailing. The axle pumps are working excellent and so far, trouble free.
Some other projects that I have done are an Engine Stand ,a Gas Switcher; wood Gondolas; and a few other things.
