think I would much prefer being the "engineer" though than the steering guy up front
That is definitely different but very interesting also. Could be a future project for you Chris Bill
Yep, I just knew that one would tickle your fancy Chris Bill
There are quite a few other videos of the model during construction so you can get an idea of how it went together.If you like that sort of layout but would prefer wheels to tracks there is always something like the Avery traction enginehttp://prestonservices.co.uk/item/avery-4322/
Been reading through the articles from the museum website, the parts list document has amazing detail of all the parts of the hauler, not measured, but pleny good enough to recreate the parts given the measured arrangement drawings and the other info in the articles, pictures, and models. Think this is definitely my next big project! Just gotta finish my Corliss, and maybe a clock project I've been putting off for a while (small tower clock with a grasshopper escapement). Good to have several things all going at once. Oh yeah, and the lobster boat hull that I won in the raffle in Carmel, and updating the motor/radio in my Sabino model to get that back in the water. And finishing the polar bear carving.... And maybe one of those steam hammers... Gotta find some castings to fondle somewhere too...
