Testing the assembly on air.

I learned not to pick up the freshly painted engine with hands covered with solvent.  I just came across a frame and small Bing boiler.  I’m currently mocking up a body.  This one will use slide valves and linkage similar to a stationary engine I built earlier.  This will take a couple weeks to complete.  I ordered some 2-rail track.  The completed engine rubbed the center track.  Also, the three rail is slightly wider.

Well done!

Would this from the 1909 catalogue be the one, being just over 7½" (19.5 cm) long?

Loco tin work update.  Time to do some drive train work.  It will have dual action cylinders with eccentric arms for the valve train.
