This is looking to be a huge bit of fun for me, combining all the mechanisms and types of work in one thing that (hopefully) operates. Maybe its my background as a carver/sculptor that makes me take a different approach to some of the problems. Or that I have no formal training in machining, so I pick different methods. Anyway, its fun!

They pay for articles, everyone start writing!!
Back from Cabin Fever, will be starting up the Marion build again this week - see photos over on the CF thread in the Shows forum....One other bit of news I can finally announce after another meeting with the editors at the show. The build of my Lombard Log Hauler will be starting as the cover story in Live Steam/Outdoor Railroading magazine starting in the March issue! It will include full plan sets for the model, along with much of what you read in the build thread on the forums here. Very exciting (for me, anyway!). The build will be spread over a bunch of issues, they dont know how many yet, but probably 8 or 10.Back to unpacking the rest of the models/tools/purchases from the show, then probably more work on the Marion bucket tomorrow...
Chris - You are out of control. In a fantastic and crazy manner that I can dig (get it, shovel, ha!), you are out of control. The modeling, rendering, animation, the assemblies (the chain everywhere over pulleys??) and all of it is just awesome. I wish I was a little less crazy at Cabin Fever to get to sit down and chat with everyone more, but it was great to at least chat for a few. Congrats on the articles coming and keep up the great work. I will certainly be following and now I know who I'll come to with Fusion Questions!
