Mitch:
A good treatise on the machine work required for small scale loco's is "A
Beginner's Guide To Model Steam Locomotives" by Tim Coles. This is a British
book published by Tee Publishing. It's been out about 15 years with a
reprint or two. Try www.fotec.co.uk/mehs/tee/index.html. It's aimed mostly
at the 3.5" -5" gauge but most everything is applicable to our needs. I
don't know of any video's aimed specifically at building a loco but Bob
Paule @ Sulpher Springs Steam Models was selling beginner milling and lathe
tapes at Diamondhead.
Hope this helps.
