Update on 1949 Steam Freight Train

Well I have started the finishing process on my train. Everything gets a coat of Danish oil and then 2 light coats of Polyuretahne Satin to give it a little bit of sheen. Here are a few photos.

1949 Reading Steam Freight Train Scale Model

So since last October I have been working on this Gatto Steam Train. It is 1/38th scale. Made from Walnut and Maple. All the parts are finished and made just finishing and glueing pieces together. Hope to have it finished here in the next week or so. The finish I am using is Danish Oil.

 

 

Update on Tools

Ridgid 13" planer with rollaround base. The casters are 4" urethane all swivel wheels with complete lockdown. This thing is solid.

 The planer in its home next to my Ridgid Oscillating Spindle Sander.

Grizzly 6" Polar Bear Series G0452P jointer. Before I got this I had a little 4" Craftsman benchtop model. Man this thing is awesome.

Ryobi 10" Miter Saw and workbench.
