How to Build an Intermediate HO Scale Steam Engine Kit: Part 3 - The Motor

We've built a more basic kit with the Bowser "Old Lady" 2-8-0, now let's move onto an intermediate level kit! In this video series, I'll be building a Bowser PRR M1 4-8-2! More detailed assembly methods will be used, more details will be added, and I'll be doing my best to show you good processes for each step along the way. And with this and other upcoming projects which I'm finding have various size nuts included, it looks like I'll be having to actually get myself some small nut drivers.

This was one of Bowser's later kits. It features one of their better quality mechanisms as well as minimal cast on details, allowing high quality separate parts to be more easily added for a near brass-level finished model.
