Hey friends,
Today I've got a fun video of my brand new 3.5" gauge 3/4" scale live steam Hudson! Construction on this locomotive was started in the 1940s with a set of Little Engines castings and plans as well as some Friends drawings. I found this locomotive for sale in a YouTube video, still incomplete, close to the condition you see it here - but in boxes, dirty, and seized up a few days ago. With the help of my go-to locomotive mechanic and best bud Colt, we were able to get everything moving properly and mostly back together (or at least as together as it gets) as well as get the valves as square as we could for the time being on air.
Super excited to share more of my progress finishing this locomotive in the coming months. Smash that subscribe button for more Live Steam stuff like this!!
Thanks for following as always,
JC
