Some buffer housing for my 7-1/4 locomotive out of

Some buffer housing for my 7-1/4 locomotive out of steel, made on the Emcoturn 220. Way bigger than I'm used to, but still fun to make.

Next is the backplate. And hopefully I can start finishing the smaller wheels to start on the bogie. After that, i can shrink fit all the wheels on the axles.

Some milled parts for your inner soul.
I have made these parts a while a go for my 3D printer.
I like the 'tabs' option in Fusion 360. Makes it easy to mill trough plate work without drawing a line and selecting as a boundary.

All are milled on my X7-20.

Just a random picture of my fully restored Emcoturn 220. All axis are converted to servo motors, and even the spindle has a servo spindle motor. All pneumatic hardware are functional by M-codes.

I am still very happy with this machine and it's capabilities. It's better than it was!

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.

I'm really enjoying the new machine! Trying to do some progress on my other projects I have laying around.

Soon I will start prototyping my other project thats going to be available.

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.

Finally doing some action again. Adjusting the post processor specially for my machine. Including costom M codes etc. Not done yet! But almost there!

This test part is a buffer housings for model steamtrain. The thread is M6x0,5.
Need more of these, so I'm going to make more out of brass.

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.
