Hi, I have been considering building a 7 1/4 steam loco and need somewhere to ask questions regarding such things.

This site popped up in my search so here I am

I have a Myford ML4 lathe and a quite large & nearly fully restored Henry Milnes milling machine. I generally into restoring old tools & machines, thats how I got into this.

My best advice would be to find a club near to you with a 7 1/4 track and talk to members.

Haha, I did geography a while ago.

I have, but don’t have many opportunities to ask them questions.
