Looks great. Haven't heard from Shady Pines Tony or Banta model works Bill's woodland railroad (sorry forgot the name) for quite a while Hope they're all doing well with their railroads progressing.

I hope to cover both railroads a little bit more this fall. There is a lot of track work to do at the Stoddard Hill Farm Railway, and Shady Pines is basically complete.

If you visit his website he does build these . I’m in the process of building a loco my self. Just having a hard time sourcing wheels close enough to my area where shipping and boarder duty fees don’t push the costs up through the roof . I don’t have a lathe or access to one so cast blanks are a no go for me .

Aaron you should really use a respirator when spraying. Even in a spray booth, it doesn’t get rid of it fast enough. Looks good in the new paint job. Does that mean that there will be a new replacement for Millbrook soon?

Hey, I was just wondering how much would one of these types of things cost? cause I’ve been thinking of building a backyard railroad

At least 1k, from what I last saw listed on the website. It's a pretty high bar for entry, but if you already have a house with a large enough yard for this, it's probably not an impossible bar to reach.

@william_k4arx Shady Pines needed a workhorse, and I have been building locomotives for people for a couple years now. 71 spent most of last summer at the Shady Pines last year, and he liked it so much that he ordered one.
