Please continue to make videos like this series, it was very enjoyable to watch the build progress of the parts and pieces. It will really show just how much work goes into making these locomotives.
Impressive! I'm envious of your shop... Having a CNC machining center and lathe definitely move things along at a quicker pace! To do all this work with manual machines would take a heck of a lot more time and the results might not be quite as consistent. Really like the way you did the wrist pins on the rod joint. Clever! Did you Loctite or pin the rod bearings in place? I was under the impression they are pressed into place and pinned to prevent rotation.
I really enjoyed this video! I like to hear your thoughts and comments as you progress through the work-flow. The rods slipped on the chassis pretty well. Of course there are various things that can make that fit well, or not. Quick question… who quartered the drivers/axles? And, as a standard practice, do you like to achieve quarter by quartering the axles, or the wheels? Thanks and looking forward to your next video! -Dan (ps: I am a Pennsy RR guy… Pennsy quartered their drivers such that the left side leads in quarter. I am not sure how many other companies if any, did this. Majority were right lead in quarter… I believe. Just an interesting bit of trivia.)

Will this be able to hold all the weight & withold the torque during motion?
Yes, even though they’re a slimmer profile than the original, stainless steel is significantly stronger than the original cast bronze rods.
