Peter,
These models of 1:10 scale locomotives are just fantastic!
I could never play in that scale,
but I sure do like looking at the efforts of those that do.
Thanks for sharing.

I agree again, fantastic! Are these locos powered?
They are large enough for live steam, but I don't see any "out of scale" pressure gauges, controls...
I'd love to see something that large operate.

Mike and Woodie,
thanks for the comments!
These models were build for exhibition only.
But we are currently powering a couple of these two foot gauge Shays,
with electric motors, for our garden railroad.
I guess we could use live steam to power them,
but that would take a lot of work time and money.
We'll be using electric motors, since they are easy to install and maintain.
We do have a 1:10 scale battery powered SW-7 (I will post photos).
And this is not the end,
we are working in a more “serious” 7”1/2 gauge railroad, around our property to ride on.
This railroad is all heavy steel, not so detailed,
so you can ride around without worrying of breaking anything or overturn the car to the side.
As you can see we work in several personal projects,
at the same time that we work in our clients projects.
We are also building our house, which has most of our attention right now,
since we need more space to work and live.
So there is not much time to spare.
But we try to use any free time we got for the hobby.
The winter is about to start down here,
so we probably are going to spend more time inside with our On30 layout.
To be continued... (I hope, if the "geniuses" that run our country let us).
Peter

Awesome Shay!
Gotta love how much realism can be achieved in such a large scale.

Let me add my two pesos to the comments.
I think that the work that you and your dad do on these models is outstanding!!
Ever do a rod engine?

Peter.
I have to say that you and your family do make the most superb models.
Oh that I could even dream of acquiring such skills.
Doug

Again, Peter, great work on the part of yourself AND your family.
Is the loco on the top shelf, in the photo of your brother and his aircraft, a smaller scale model of the same 0-4-0?
