Last post by Heiny57 - Apr 09, 2026, 01:51 PMQuote from: Uncle Buck on Apr 09, 2026, 06:58 AMSon says he wants to tackle my old 72 C-10 this summer. It will take ALOT to get her road worthy but I am anxious to start. Short to do list below.
1)Hopefully just a blown head gasket left bank. Will replace both.
2) Brakes, everything
3) Front end, everything including new springs, ball joints.
3) Exhaust
4) Tires, all
5) All the rest underhood, hoses, belts, plugs, wires etc.
6) All fluids
If he sides me on everything it will be a good start hopefully leading to the lathe and machine shop stuff. He has a lot to learn.
That would be a cool project, keep us updated.

Charming Creek Tramway, West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand was built to haul native timber and later coal. Their second loco, built around 1910 was a self-made construction with a transportable Ruston & Procter boiler (works No. 8698 from 1897) and only one cylinder was built on a wooden frame. The flywheel crankshaft turned the drive shaft via a sprocket and chain, and this turned the two-axis bogies via another sprocket and chain
