Everything was easy except the bourdon, That was the hard part. It took me many tries to get them right. Working with such thin material and not overheating it was the problem. It was great to finally see it work when they were finished. Don't be afraid to try it, it was a good experience. Good luck to you.

Hi All, sorry for the long absents it's been a rough year. The worse is I had a stroke, but I am overcoming it. Here is a picture of some of the things I have worked on. I have had to learn a lot of things all over again. Hopefully, this year will be better.

Hi Dale, that definitely qualifies as a rough year.  And the rest of us thought being in lockdown was bad enough.

Best wishes for a good recovery.  And best wishes to those supporting you through it all.

For such a year, looking at those parts you have been working on, you seem to be re learning very well.

We are all barracking for you, and hope to see more progress in the future.

Well, I have had a couple days to work on my Loco. Things have been slow for me. But I have over come my strock farly well. I still have a lot to relearn but it is coming along pretty good. Here are a few picture of the trucks for the tender. The truck frames were a fun project to do. I milled a lip on the back side of the gigs so that they would sit on the top edge of the vise. to many part to try to hold all at one time, so that made it a lot easier to work with.

Great to see you back on the K27, Dale!

The trucks look great!  They are very similar to the ones for the Pennsy Switcher.  Though the boxes are a bit more elaborate :)    :ThumbsUp:

I can only agree that it's nice to see you back here and even better that you feel well enough to make things in the Shop again (+ post it here)  :)     :cheers:
