Hi, I just joined the community – thanks for letting me in!

I also created a new thread in the beginner's section about a 5" gauge Butch that was built by my uncle and his father. I have posted some photos and I'm looking for any advice on how I might proceed with improving Butch's current rather sad state!

BTW I live in Canada where 4 3/4"seems to be a more standard gauge for engines the size of Butch.

Hello Phil and welcome. Hopefully one of the loco people will be along soon with some good suggestions.

Do you have access to any workshop space and equipment?

Thanks for your note Brian,

I will continue this conversation in the other thread. I do have workshop space but limited equipment.
