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.

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.
