We're in the middle a very fun project here in our shop, building a whole series of larger and smaller pieces. The project will keep us busy for the next three months. The first piece is the primary sign. It will be done by weeks end, making room for the next one. -grampa dan -------------------- Dan Sawatzky Imagination Corporation Yarrow, British Columbia dan@imaginationcorporation.com http://www.imaginationcorporation.com Being a grampa is one of the the most wonderful things in the world!!!

Very cool Dan . It's not often we see a Shay locomotive......... they're awesome. Did you use the one over in Duncan for reference? You have some pretty accurate detail going on there but it's still in your "style". -------------------- Rodger MacMunn T.R. MacMunn & Sons C.P.207, Sharbot Lake, ON 613-279-1230 trmac@frontenac.net

Wow, an original Sawatzky 4-0-4. Those knuckles look just like the ones I worked with, but why are the hosebags missing?. :oP -------------------- Guy Hilliard Sawdust and Noise CNC Routing / Laser Cutting and Engraving Brampton, Ont. Canada
