Hi, my name is John. I am from Bribie Island and at the present time I am building a 2/5 scale model of a 1942 Malcolm Moore loco. Have a few home made bits of equipment, primitive but get the job done.

Have a good one....John B.
Hi John - welcome to HomemadeTools.net :welcome:
The scale locomotive build sounds interesting. Post some pics if you have any.
Are you looking to build any homemade tools for this project?
Hi John,
Welcome! :welcome:
Even at scale, that's still a good-sized locomotive. Very cool! :cool:
What sort of homemade bits have you built for it along the way?
Ken
Wow, cool project! Just wondering how you'd run it? Is there a track or something that you would use? Welcome to the forums! :welcome:
Thank you for the welcome. My home made tools are mostly bits and jigs that I have made as I go along. I am not a machinist and at 70 have just bought a mill so it will have to be a sharp learning curve.
The loco is 7.25 inch gauge, my club track is just a 5 minute drive from here and despite what I say on Facebook it will probably be my home track for some time.
