Train Page

I work in the Steam train museum in Valkenburg renovating the old engines. Below are some of the bearings I have made for various engines both diesel and steam.

--Rough boring (final boring comes after milling and splitting into 2 halves)
(Image size 2592 x 1944 JPEG, )

--The wheels and axles

--Here is an axle bearing being machined with the bronze metal shavings flying off and frozen by the flash of the camera
(Image size 1558 x 1248 JPEG)

--A milling process also showing the old split bearing which has to be replaced
(Image size 1818 x 1202 JPEG, )

--An overview showing the Cast Iron guide for the bearing that fits into the chassis
(Image size 2048 x 1536 JPEG, )

--Here is the steam engines chassis in an upside down state showing where the axle guide blocks and bearings go
(Image size 2643 x 1697 JPEG, )

--Here I have made the big end bearings for a Jung 2 stoke diesel narrow gauge locomotive
(Image size 1886 x 1126 JPEG, )

--Looking over to the workshop
