    Hi atsfsteam,

    Welcome!

    Live steam = very cool stuff! We are talking about a scale locomotive, right? Let's see some pics!

    Have you built any homemade tools to support your train hobby?

    The pacific is a 1.5 scale 7.5 gauge coal fired locomotive. I am working on it right now getting ready to drive to Houston for a weekend meet. I will try to get some good photos to post this weekend.
    As for making tools I have not had to do that yet. I have had what I needed.
    Here is one of the first photos of it.
