I have posted a few pictures on Brickshelf.com of the Beyer-Garrett that I
have been building.  It is still in Design Development, there are a few things
I still need to work on, mostly detailing.  But, I thought I would give you
all a look-see since a few of you were interested.  Please post any comments
or suggestions.
Thanks,
Stacy

Looks like you beat me to it. But its great to finally see one. Great work! We have been talking about these for a couple years in PNLTC but no one has tried it to date. I just started working on one since G2K but haven't posted yet. My biggest (...) (24 years ago, 19-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains)
