Steam loco build
It is a cold Norwegian winter  -12°C outside. And with the Roadster garaged until April, it´s a nice opportunity to fiddle with some model engineering

Ooh. That looks like a fun project. Yes, machining parts is fun but time consuming

Really interesting Aage.
My late uncle used to model 3 1/2 and 5 inch steam locos. They were made by him from scratch.
Don't underestimate how heavy the finished loco is going to be . It would be very challenging to transport in the Roadster.

Even if this is a small narrow gauge locomotive the estimated dry weight is 125lbs, so the Roadster is out of the question as a transporter
