Starting Atlantic 4-4-2 Locomotive

[Patrick]

Hi Guy's, just thought I would post a couple of pictures of the Yankee Friends Atlantic 4-4-2 Locomotive that I started on a few weeks back. I was going to wait until next winter but it was either start this project or paint the inside of the house for my bride. Looks like I'll paint later, Hee Hee So far I have the loco side frame rails, main bearings, trailer truck frame and bearings, and the boiler water feed pump machined and mounted.

Ya'll take care

That looks like it is going to be a work of art! I too am curious as to what the dimensions are...

I don't mind painting the interior of the house. I find the act of painting by itself is enjoyable! It's moving the furniture, doing all the prep work, the clean up and moving everything back that is utterly unbearable.

William, the engine is approx. 26" long, 10" high and 8" wide, runs on 3 1/2" wide track, I think it will pull 4 adults on flat track with maybe a shallow grade now and then. Boiler is 5 1/8" diameter, main wheels are 5" diameter. So far it's been a fun project but the real work is yet to come.

Hey Dataporter, if we were closer together I would invite you over for a painting party, but looks like the wife will have to wait.
