30/1/18 - V499

As you may be aware I've been involved over the last couple of years with drafting for the new build Victorian Railways V class 2-8-0 steam locomotive, assisting the Victorian Steam Locomotive Company.

Some more time was spent today drafting on the smokebox design. All the drawings are being done from scratch. We have the general arrangement and some Baldwin reference drawings, but all the detail drawings were destroyed many years ago.

The crowdfunding campaign is open for the smokebox project. Go to the website www.vicsteam.com for more information and where to donate for the construction of the smokebox barrel. The campaign is for $3000 and there's only $550 to go!

Happy steaming!

Nigel
