Ran in to the former owner of the first f60l cab 12 i have ,and was talking about the old girl and mentioned he had been looking through some old slides he had found
He was kind enough to get them copied to photo form and send a copy to me
I think photos like these are great to see their previous use and a bit of their history

Default riveting experience

Andrew

When you have the time, can you tell us all how you went about the rivetting ??

What method you employed .. it looks very neat I must say. And, where did you obtain the rivets. Were they made locally by a friendly machinist ?
