We just bought our first CNC mill! Dual 5-axis, through-spindle coolant, 21 tools, and the bu**er is FAST! From this point, we're Vermont Locomotive Works LLC.

I have friends with tractors, and they break stuff. They're pretty crafty when they're in a bind, but they bring stuff to me when there's no other options.

This is my slow progress on building a 1.5" scale, 7.25" Gauge Canadian Pacific G5C class live steam locomotive. If you're not familiar with the hobby, the locomotive will run on steam and pull passengers, it's just roughly 1/10 the size of the real thing. I haven't seen anyone try this particular locomotive; it's a light pacific with a few weird details about it. I really like the look of the smaller boiler and the wheel arrangement, and it used to run trips for Steamtown when it was still in Vermont.

This was supposed to be for the rolling mill, but I found a single phase motor for it. We do have a bridgeport that needs three phase though. Unfortunatly I don't have the pictures of the switch motor, the box, the contractors, and anything else. Just the mill.
