For the past several years, I spent the weekends in my garage building a replica of the Southern Pacific GS-4 Daylight in 1-1/2" scale. During this time I have learned a lot about machining, locomotives and all the sub systems required to have a properly running engine. I have been taking pictures during construction and thought that I would share them with those interested. I'm not going to go into detail about how I machined things or how I did this or that. Instead, I thought that I would show some pictures and give a brief explanation of what was done.
My blogs are organized in chronological order and not by subject matter. I may have a couple sections on the same thing due to modifications or something. I'll try to keep this updated every few months until done, so enjoy...
Here's me doing research
