Building boilers - e-paw - 10-18-2015
Stumbled on this video by accident. It's from a clinic on using styrene plastic to build boilers from scratch. The author uses a similar method to what I use , except I normally use brass to do the same job. He does show a few useful tips and ideas here on working with styrene, it's worth a watch.

I have taken the liberty to link to RDGCaseys build threads from the Model Railroader forum for those who may be interested.

Bear, thanks for this addition.
Nice to read again about the progress how you built your fine camels and to see them running in your videos.
I love such innovative work of construction of new engine models - however I'm sure that I never wil build an own loco. So much the more I appreciate your work!

my apologies if I gave the wrong impression, but those links are NOT to MY work, I only wish they were.Cheers, the Bear.

One day I'll have to try this just for fun.
Personally, I'd love a Reading Company G3 Pacific. It helps that they were run on the PRSL, which means they'd look good under both Reading and PRR catenary.
Gonna have to do a ton of research first though. I wonder if there are any plans for these out there.
