guardians of the night

Fresnel lenses, the most beautiful things that glass has ever been made into. I find them asthetically pleasing, mechanically satisfying and very mysterious.

Well......what can I say! We've got stuff for the engineer, the fireman, the signalman, the draft-designer, the tax-collector, the possessed and the mentally impared! Just look inside here, but expect the unexpected.

HOLY SMITHEROONS...Live Steam Fantasies come True

Sun Nov 15, 2009, 5:12 PM
Well umm......yes

Well I got the new Lathe today......and nothing much else...except the LIVE STEAM TREASURE-TROVE OF THE CENTURY

for the meager price of One-Hundred smackers, I got myself TWO Tich boilers (of different sizes)with the larger one being FULLY COMPLETED, A full tich chassis with a completed axle-pump, cylinder castings, a full set of drawings for it and about 70 other locomotives, plus FIIIVVEEE boxes worth of engine pieces, driver and pilot wheel castings, huge burly well-made pilot and trailing trucks in G, 2.5, and 3.5 inch gauges, buffer beams, the frames for a Narrow-gauge 2-8-2 and wheels/axles/rodding/pieces, ANNNDDD to finish all of this, a Brand Spanking new salvaged and fully-operable and capable Central Machining Co 7x12 lathe, equipped with automatic screwfeeds, thread-cutting abilities, a driven compound rest and protractor and a rheostatic speed control.

I just jumped from fantasizer to builder in the period of five hours. Off to practicing I go!
