Hello - new here and just searching out this amazing site! I started another locomotive recently and have been basically acquiring parts - castings and materials - for this engine. It was a sugar plantation 3 foot narrow gauge 2-6-0 built by Baldwin in 1918. I've modified it a bit to be a outside wheel version but still resembling the narrow gauge look. It is 7 1/2" gauge - should weigh about 450 lbs. when ready to run - a few years...
This is a part that I just completed for the valve gear (Southern). The actual engine had Stevenson VG inside the frames - this version is outside the frames. Anyhow - these are photos of the guide links in process...
