This is a particularly nice whistle that should fit the Lombard.http://www.nelsonslocomotive.com/Shay/MorePlumbing/PlumbingXWhistle/PlumbingX.htmPete
Sounds like a job for the "Shop Elves" Chris. At least it looks like you're in for some bad wx up there = more shop time!I'm enjoying this build.Jim
Hello Chris,the Lombard Steam Hauler is an impressive project. May be the following information can support you.A model engineer of the Netherlands has posted a lombard project in gauge 1 size on this platform: http://forums.mylargescale.com/18-live-steam/41562-lomberd-steam-log-hauler.html.He has his own web side with a lot of information of the original engine and a building log of his model here: http://www.depuffendeschoorsteen.com/lombard-steam-log-hauler-/.Interesting is also this movie of a restored Lombard ride (w/ pressurized air only):http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=633a6Bej5EkFinaly here is a movie of his model:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLaf3Us6DxwHope you have fun with that informationRichard
I can see where it could get a little redundant when you need an "In Bin" and an "Out Bin" for your parts! Jim
Hmmmm ... Your tracks are almost exactly the same size as the 64 pieces I have printed for a radio controlled excavator that must be nearly the same scale. I might have to "borrow" your drawings for the tracks as they are way more sturdy and realistic than the printed ones.Tom
It would be worse for Jo, imagine building THREE of these!!

I've thought about building one of those for a long time, but could not come up with a good way to control the arms/bucket without actual hydraulics.
