Hi Guys,
I felt there was a lack of support for Kozo Locomotive builders from around the world. Hundreds of folks are building Kozos right now. They now have a place to exchange ideas, to get together, and have a nice chat.
Be sure to start a new thread for each new subject.
Thanks for visiting.

Now, if someone could manage to get Kozo in here and give input, that would just make it ideal  Fred |

Hi Fred, I've invited a live steamer from Japan, Hiroyuki Watanabe, to join us. Hiroyuki wrote the article about Live Steaming in Japan ( www.discoverlivesteam.com/magazine/27.html ). He's well established in this hobby over there. If he joins us, we can ask him about Kozo answering some questions for us.  |

All,
Thanks go out to Jim for starting this much needed forum. I have built Kozo's A3 which I finished this past spring. I never had the chance to fire and run the loco due to some personal hardships which caused me to sell it. I will be building another, but most likely scaled down to run on gauge 1 track and radio controlled.
For me smaller is better. I would love to build a 1 1/2" scale locomotive but my shop is small and I would have no way of transporting it, not to mention the cost of materials.

Hey what about an online chat, or IRC-chat channel?   |

We can do an online chat. We need to pick a day and time. Who's up for a chat?
Jim.

Hi, I'm building Kozo's new Shay. Started in April 2000. For latest pics see my web site www.mataisoftware.co.nz/shay.phpThis is my first loco. Kozo's instructions certainly make it easy to build his locos. I am also aware of another builder in Christchurch New Zealand, building 3 of the New Shays in 7 1/4" gauge. John |
