Exquisite work! Are you still using bagasse paper? Are you able to purchase the paper in sheets?

Since I found a laser shop in Bangkok. They also have many kinds of soft media sheet include bagasse cardboard.

Still continue on the trail truck. Added grease pipes. Pipe bending was a very hard and fine job. I made templates for bending same as other pipe parts. This made me to bend the more exactly size of pipes.

Installation must be very careful on damaging every parts. Be sure that the pipe bending is exactly fit to other parts before glueing.

Hello Mr kooklik
Awsome!
Any further progress in marketing? Please do not let this great project bog down!
Should you not find a suitable publisher, when all else fails you still can sell this
marvelous model (an idea) as PDF for instructions and assembling sheets + original
CAD drawings dxf/dwg, or everything as PDF.

In any case: KEEP ON TRUCKIN!

Kooklik, it looks real! I like the way you have sustained in interest in your design/build by ending with the locomotive. I imagine that this was the way the real thing was built 70 years ago!

Any word yet from the laser cutter?

Hello all
Thanks for all concerns for no updating of this project. I have not much time to continue during the past few weeks. I will come back to my building desk soon. Thanks for all waiting.
