I had been hunting for the AHM 4-4-0 frame I said I had, but couldn't find. It was not in the scrap box that the other remains if AHM tender drive locomotives were in.
Today I was trying to clean off my work bench. The first order of business was to fix # 21, my primordial 2-4-4-2, which had lost a screw from it's valve gear. naturally it was some oddball tiny metric screw that would be difficult to match. I found one that would work kind of sort of, and got it in as a trmp repair, that while not pretty will allow operation. While looking for screws, I visited many boxes of locomotive mechanism parts, and found the 4-4-0 frame, so here is a mock up of the Whiskey river locomotive that is ( God willing) being constructed in my shops,
Tyler, does this locomotive have a number yet?
Hi Bill,
Just in case you need fastening accessories like screws, bolts, nuts washers and etc... Micro fasteners sells them. Most people who are into train hobby purchase their screws from this shop, coz they only sell high quality products and at a very reasonable price! hope this helps!
