9 Mill (White Metal & Gold) Dubs A & Trackwork

OK, so this has nothing to do with 3d Printing... Instead publicly admit to a rather terrible sin, i'm a chronic case of "Rubber Gauging".... after some advice from Ev (http://motoriseddandruff.blogspot.co.nz/) i've realised the term rubber gauging implies "That you are modelling so many different scales at the same time that the gauge between the rails is not exactly set....", my father tells me that some take it as a strict rule.

Also picked up from Paul Woods (http://www.woodsworks.co.nz/) at a heavily discouted price being the nice guys he is! where perfectly cut sleepers for the early nzr period, track, fishplates & pins.

Showing progress, I used the kitchen gas stove top for annealing, a risky proposition (if ya get caught).

More progress, continually going over the same ground tidying up solder joints & lots of filing. Dome is just sitting in place. Chassis screws to the top.
