The dirt pile at cabin fever has never really caught my attention. I suspect because my interest is in building, not operating. My son is exactly opposite. For years I’ve stated that Sam likes to drive the truck and I just want to fix it This being a build thread, it has my interest. I like your solution for simulating hydrolics. . .

Mann oh Mann Chris the CAD for the steam truck looks great!
You mentioned 'boring' in a previous post. What did you use? The boring tool from Sherline?I used that for a couple of holes and (like Bill mentioned) found it difficult to adjust accurately.I got it done (despite ruining a parallel in the process) but the holes ended up just slightly larger than the bearings.My mistake was making the bearings first. I should have made the holes and then turned the bearings to fit.BTW Where's the elves? Are they quarantined? As they should have been years ago.
Oh, and the elves have locked themselves in big ziplock bags, muttering something about 'dont know where you have been'.
