Intro To Building A Steam Locomotive Kit: Kits Available & Tools Needed

This video is intended to be an introduction to building a Steam Locomotive from a kit.

The video is divided into two sections. The first section will look at the kits (and kit manufacturers) most often found on the "Used Market", and give some tips on obtaining those kits at a reasonable price. The second part of the video will look at the primary tools needed to construct these kits

Speaking of tools, when I show the drill bit in the Pin Vice, I said it was a 1/4" bit. Nope! I meant to say 1/8th inch. Sorry!

The video is a little long (a little over 40 minutes), but you can certainly look at the video in two parts. First look at the available kits and how to buy them, take a break, and then look at the tools needed.

In the near future I will begin posting some videos where we actually build some locos from kits.

I hope that you subscribe and follow along!
