There is a site on how to build a Tom humb steamer. It included all the parts and where to find them. Anyone have that link? I want to try making one someday. A freind of mine built one and itsa neat little engine.
My wife got me the Mid West Heritage steam engine for X-Mas. I have wanted to build the above Tom Thumb steam train when I first saw it a few years ago. Now that i have some understanding on live steam I figured it would be a cool project and maybe help me learn more about live steam in hopes of one day building a class A climax steam engine. This is another reason for me building a portable layout. The Tom Thumb is not good on grades, it needs flat track. Until X-mas I will start gathering the materials I need.
Gee Shawn,
Have you got enough projects going 
Glad to see someone is getting things done 
I’ve really been a slacker lately =(

Well,
I’ve not been “sitting down” much lately either. Just have so many other things to do.
This entire year has just gone by so fast…
I hope I can get back to my trains after the Holidays

Relaxing is an art form …it needs practice and careful study…I have it down to a science…
