OK Herbie-what scale is it? To my old eyes, it looks to be 3/8. Could it be you have been converted (perverted) to the dark side? The proper side? Yiiikes!
Since I can't find fault with your construction and the beauty of the rivets and brass dazzle my senses...Are you sure that you have the right number of rivets, others will count them since they cannot find any problems with your model. Well, I am duly impressed and will wait for more photos so i can look for nits.
As James Cagney said-"you dirty brother, you killed my little rat!"...or something like that. Boudreaux
PS-OK, so I know it is O standard gauge...again, I am blinded by the shiny brass. I can hope, can't I ?

Woodrow-
As James Cagney said-"you dirty brother, you killed my little rat!"...or something like that.
Was that an R/C rat?
Now you know that I am too deep into 1/4" scale to do much else at this late state in the game.
Occasionally I doodle SR&RL stuff in larger scales (usually 1/2) but the size of a trackplan gets to me.
And having had one outdoor railroad, I have suffered enough!
As for picknitters- I have a full size rivet gun and sets that I will apply, not so gently , to their foreheads!

Herbie-is it done yet? is it done yet? is it done yet? is it done yet?
Lets see some more. As Hannibal Smith said-"I love it when a plan comes together"...Woodrow

Calm down there pard!
Patience worked with your neighbor remember.
As soon as I dig some more copper ore out of the mine, and combine it with the zinc already on hand------

Herbie-patience had nothing to do with the "neighbor"...remember that wooden stake and silver bullet ? OK OK, I will leave you alone until you melt those brass spheres down and continue soldering and riveting. What kind of drive have you decided upon? I know we talked about that, but I have been talking with Muj lately and have forgotten what was said. Maybe I will remember in 20 or so years... Woodrow

Herbie-you da' man. You build real stuff with real tools while the rest of us make stuff from this n' that using a couple of needle files and an Xacto #11 blade. I ain't seen this much brass since I went to Caboose Hobbies years ago! Of course, any guy who can make On30 Shay pinion gears deserves a real honor-becomming a MMR !. Yes, I am nominating you for the Monkey Model Railroader award from the National Monkey Railroad Assn. in Brazil. Of course, I hold MMR #1, so you will have to be #2...I hope that's OK with ya'. No wait, Muj is #2, you will have to be #3.
The preceeding drivel is not ment to outrage the masters of model railroading nor the National whatchamacallit. If any are offended, just consider the source.
Boudreaux with Muj along with PH
