Yes it does. I keep finding out I need more tools(not a bad thing) and fixtures. I have other projects, but when I go to the bench I'm drawn to this thing.

Thanks for the support!

You scarred Me ... Terry I was thinking 1 1/2" or 2 1/2" scale ....

Well I've gone back and looked this build over looks very good ... My status is that I have changed the hours of my Store so I can go and work on my Friends Railroad ... so I'm closed on Wednesday now ... I have a Backyard railway that this Loco would run on ( I think ) ...

Now My friend also has one ... Some photos of scratching for His ...

This is the one I closing for ... He works on & operates trains on this 8 acre railroad in His Backyard ...

My dream is to build this in 2 1/2" scale ... that would be a Narrow gauge if you used this same size track of 7 1/2" it would run on His track but his Blue engine is 1 1/2" ...

I'm enjoying your work good luck with those rivets & the counters ... hard to get the spacing right ... something that you might try is a pattern marker ... I found one in my Wife's sewing box ... getting one with the right spacing my be a problem ... :salute

Good luck ...

The paper model has the rivets located so I'm using that as a reference. Could be more or less depending. I'm looking at a lot of reference pictures and adding where I think more are needed.
