Have you ever considered a live steam locomotive build but couldn't get hold of wheel castings, how about making them from scratch. On this episode I cut the wheel spokes and finish the wheels for my live steam locomotive using the rotary table with a bench top mill. I also media blast and paint the wheels.

The Fell Engine Project follows the construction my first live steam locomotive a 1:12 scale, 3.5" gauge locomotive from scratch using my own drawings.

The locomotive being built is modelled on the NZR H Class which operated on the Rimutaka Incline, a 1 in 15 average slope line which utilised a centre rail system for additional traction and braking. The longest serving of the H Class locomotives were built in 1876 and operated until 1955
