Yup, saw your sway back shed here and over on the FB page, too. Hit the "Like" button over at FB (I was just passing through! :) )
I think the sway back building was a stroke of serendipity!

I'm sorry Andre, I didn't remember seeing your name among the likes. They were well received but I think my painting skills have room for improvement. I do like my staining though.

I'm back at work on my moguls. I started to swap out the crosshead. Here a picture better shows what I have to do.

This has to done very carefully of course as the tolerances are very tight.

While playing with my ready-to-run Athearn old timer I've also have been at work on other projects and planning but also on my moguls. I've carefully adding the new guild yoke and pumps to make sure the model is going to operate well. I'm just about ready to solder the guilds to yoke and add the other details. Here're some pictures.
