Some progress of the NS6100 locomotives. It's a challenge to make two at the same time. Everything hase to be made twice. But, everything is changeable and hase being made in perfection. Soon I will make the wheels out of solid steel in stead of castings.

Today was a special day. Finally my Syil X7-20 arrived. All transport went well. unloading it was scary and exciting at the same time. Good thing I know good neighbor who could help with the right machine. Unpacking the crate was a enormous amount of joy. I never noticed how big my smile was when the packing material was removed. The afternoon was a calm walk-around at the machine and cleaning the inside of the machine. This evening my other close neighbor helped me to rotate the machine 90° to it's final position.

Now, my garage is packed! Haha can't fit anything more into it.

One heck of a day.

I think these flat buffers turned out great! A locomotive buffer beam gives a engine really it's typical sharm. Great thing is that I am going to do this again but then a bigger scale!

Some freshly made buffer housing. All in the Emco with barpuller. Thanks to @tom_machinist his post who gave me the idea. Worked flawless!!! Next is Op2. I really need to find some nice mini tools for inside turning. Got some new carbide tools to test it out.

Some updates of the shop. Roof is fully done on the inside. Even installed RGBWW ledstrip and outside door spots. They are all controlled trough zigbee controller that runs on a small home automation system.
Now time to improve some things in the shop it self. No news on the syil X7 yet, and hope to get it really soon!

Some progress of the shop. Although I have to do some finishing outside the shop, I wanted to have the inside done before the machine will arrive. I got some time before that, but just in case.
Finishing the inside is also allot of work. Although it isn't perfect, it doesn't look bad ether.
Next is frond and back wals, finish the edges and then switching over to do some electrical.

Shop transformation so far. ⬇️ First of all. I hope everyone who is following me and their families are safe and healthy. Keep your distance and stay clean as posible. Keep your self busy if you are in self quarantine. ✌️ This will give me so much more store space. The shop gets stuffed with also home stuff that's takes in allot of useable space. And offcourse, head space for the new X7.

Change of plans on the Emco. After I discovered that there is a 5% deviation on the v-belt pouleys of the spindle, and there is no chance to convert this to a timing belt, I decided to get a external encoder on the spindle it self.
