KBScale McEwan Locomotive


I have started the construction of a etched brass locomotive kit produced by KBScale. This link will take you to an album that shows the parts that make up the kit. It is definitely a kit because it is compsed of nothing but parts, some assembly required!

I am using a resistance soldering tool and an 80 watt heavy duty soldering iron for assembly. So far so good as I have gotten the chassis completed. I have had the resistance unit for quite a while but have never used it before, it has worked well for attaching the bearings. For the major assemblies I have used the iron, its large heat capacity makes seaming the joints quite quick without excessively heating the surrounding material.
