David I will shoot a video with my resistance soldering label showing fir you. Take a screen shot and Google it....they do turn up from time to time. Best of luck.
I've just recently picked up my second brass HO scale diesel, a Baldwin VO-1000 which I've got to repaint for the Central of Georgia Railroad company. My first brass diesel (HO scale) was a Fairbanks-Morse H12-44. I like brass since I don't do DCC; I'm strictly a DC guy. I haven't gotten any steam engines yet nor any for O scale. I do collect Lionel 027. Cheers from an ex-Georgian in eastern TN
Hey there w.rustylane.....did you say Baldwin and Fairbanks Morse ....??? I believe you speak my language. Early diesels will be my passion til the day I die......thank you for sharing.
David......that is a great question. Finding parts and decals was my biggest fear. I took the project on because this model was only missing the smoke stack...which the owner provided. I can make some parts....but if parts or decals are unavailable...then I have to decline the project.. Gather as much parts as you can....decals too. That's my best advice to tackling these rebuilds.
I wonder if a dentist knows the difference between a moler and a wisdom tooth, because you sure don't know the difference between a check valve and an injector. You model guys are something else. Scaled down to the last rivet but ya don't know your actual parts.
I need to find that old school resistance soldering machine

Looks fantastic brother.
Enjoy vacation A.K.A retirement mode😊
Big Charlie....I am going to definitely take your advice on my dry-run practice retirement mode.
I hope all is well Big Charlie.

Are you having any issues finding parts?
