keriddle1958 Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 What a great forum! My name is Ken Riddle, up in the East Tennessee mountains. I am new here and wanted to introduce myself. I have a pretty decent home machine shop, and have been a live steamer for many years. I have built a few steam locomotives in 1" and 1 1/2" scale and have a couple more in the shop I am piddling with. Several years ago I traded for a nice blacksmith shop from an old railroad shop and am just now getting a shed together to put it in. I have done some blacksmithing, but just mostly little jobs on a portable forge I have. Sure nice to find all this knowledge in one place! Thanks!! Ken Quote
