intro

hello world :-) i thought i would invite everyone on a little (tiny) journey of sorts. the task is the construction of a nn30 (yep 5mm gauge and 1:160 scale) na class locomotive. Why a na you might ask, well they dont have a complicated valve gear and look good.
plans i found in a recent issue of narrow gauge downunder.

the na's are famous as they are the mainstay of the fleet for the puffing billy railway.

go to http://www.puffingbilly.com.au/fan/fleet/NA_photo_gallery.htm for a look.

i have started a 3-d drawing of the model using alibre design.

the frames are the first thing i will make.
