Hello All,
I stumbled across this support group while surfing the web for live steam inspiration. I am glad to see that this group exists!
My own project is an A3. Well, to be completely honest, two A3's. I was having difficulty deciding on whether to use 3.5 inch gauge or 7.5 inch gauge. Not being the most decisive person on the planet, I started both.
So far I have started on the tender wheels for the 3.5 inch version. I am not an experienced machinist so progress is less than lightning speed.
Wish me luck! I will do the same for you.
