Climax Build

[dharris]

Hi from a new Kozo follower from the UK. Does anyone know if there is a website giving a build series for the Climax loco? Many thanks Dave Harris

Welcome to the board,

I am not aware of a website build series for Kozo's Climax, but there is an excellent photo series on a gauge 1 build of the Climax by Ed Hume on his flickr site:

Ed also did a series on just the boiler construction:

Check out his sets on his Kozo Heisler and A3 builds also.

I would say his photo sets would almost qualify as a "build series."

Enjoy,

Larry

Larry,

Many thanks for the links to Ed's site, the information is very helpful.

Does anyone have contact info for Ed Hume? I received a postcard yesterday from a person looking to contact him. I'm guessing that it is in connection with the Climax Ed built, since the only common denominator I can see is his climax loco, and that I have Climax castings available.

I noticed that Ed has not logged on since April of last year.

Regards,

You can send Ed an email through his Flickr page.

I was unaware I could contact him through Flickr.
