Air locomotive engine.

[5thwheel]

These pictures were sent to me by my son when he was on a trip to Canada.  It is of an air operated locomotive for mining.  The engine was charged with air then driven into the mine.  When in there it was recharged for the return trip. Interesting and would make a great model.

Are one of these in your future Bill?

I enjoyed watching the feature on your work. Great stuff, and welcome!

No Chuck, I don't have any plans for the engine however I think it would look great in a mine layout. Thanks for the compliment on the video, all are in 1/12th scale and completely from scratch.  Many are projects from a class I taught back in Maine. Started a look through your stuff this morning and like what I saw.  Very nice job on aging. Will have to take an evening and look more closely.

You'll need more than one evening !

Hi Bill, you might be interested in this thread ........ Don't know if Michael ever finished it, but I am the last to criticise on that score!
