In 2003, I began my search for a new project and in August 2004, I began building the Railroad Supply Consolidation.  These are pictures from the beginning.  I am currently in the final push and should have this locomotive steaming in the next few weeks.

NVRR Turntable – 02

Here is an update showing the progress of the turntable.  Shortly, we’ll be able to put the bays on the beams.  Also, almost ready to move the engine house. It will probably be a while, since I had hernia surgery on Friday.

NVRR Turntable

We’re building a new turntable on the Nasonville Valley Railroad Co.  When finished, it will be 10′ long and much stronger than the older one.  It will have a direct lead to the main line and the loading bay will go to it, giving much easier access with a trailer or truck.

I bought a Bridgeport Mill from my friend and fellow Live Steamer, Jim Abrams.  These are pictures of moving it from Jim’s shop to mine.
