JD Locomotive Works L.L.C. - Dependable On Time Precision Machine Work

1 1/2" Scale Kozo 0-4-0

Now that the 2-8-0 project is just about done, we're going to finish our 0-4-0 project. We have had several inquires about a machined kit for this locomotive. If we get 6 orders for a machined kit, we will produce them.

Coming together

The domes and head light are just mocked up to give an idea of what it will look like. The boiler jacket will be blued and the dome centers will be polished brass.
