Jerry B44 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I got a damaged Big Boy last year, had broken frames. Well, my repair did not hold on the front drive, so trying a new approach using fiberglass. Not room for much thickness so thought it may work. I had used 1/4" brass bars to hold the broken pieces, screwing into the threaded holes that were in the frame for the brakes, so can't stop it! Anyway, in this picture I have things fitted together and glued. After this pix I used fiberglass and lapped it over to the inside some also. Goofed by getting some resin on the brass rails, which I need to remove to get the motor back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry B44 Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 Got it back together, had a nice run with it and all seemed fine. No wind this afternoon(rare here) and the smoke was going about 3' high, I had a great time! Sure a great locomotive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
