Kozo A3 locomotive in 1.5" scale
kvom:
A number of people asked in my intro thread about the A3 project. It's finished enough to run, and has been steamed up 3 times. Here's the latest shop photo:
Still needs the headlamp to be finished/painted/wired, and I need to redo the steam supply line on one of the injectors. Plus figure out how to see the injector overflow drain, which is blocked from view by the running boards.
Then I need to practice handling the water and fire so as not to lose one or the other after only one time around the yard.
I'll continue to post here with any updates.

Nice! I remember when you started this.
More pics would be a delight.
kvom:
3 years of work and lots of pics/posts. I kept the threads active in three places:

Kvom, I have taken the liberty of moving this thread to The Showcase area since it is largely finished. Also the forum is now placing loco builds in the Vehicles & Models sub-forum for works in process or finished engines.
As to the A3...its most impressive!! Thanks for posting it here on MEM for us to see since some of us don't frequent the other boards as much now.

KVOM, that is just beautiful. I can't imagine the amount of time, blood, sweat, and tears that must have gone into that. Next steam up, we need a video. Hey, how bout a tour around the shop, looks like a nice one :ThumbsUp:
