My home shop

Thanks for the kind words everybody.

The wife "made the mistake" of buying me a 25 ton log splitter a couple of years ago when we had 3 of our big red oaks come down. That's sitting in the way of her car. I'd like to build a building or downsize the house (while upsizing the shop space) since our kids are getting older.

The first 2 photos are of my 1 1/2" = 12" scale Reading RR camelback switcher. It's in the middle of an overhaul.

The next 4 photos are of the next project. The 6th photo is a prototype photo from the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1925. I've been nibbling at this for the last couple of years. It's the same scale as the camelback.

I also do work for other train guys. That's the other reason for the shop. Even though I work as a machinist full time, I find that making parts is very relaxing for me. Some guys are immersed in sports or other things....I'd much rather be in the shop.
