Joe Dorazio built Locomotives Also 2 rail scale

Rod Miller took over the business from Jerry White and I think is still doing custom building.

Theres always Matt Forsyth as well in Susquehanna pa. A real stickler for detail!

Tom Weaver interesting story about Joe Dorazio ...he built engines in O and HO for quite a long period ..

Can you please post a photo of your engine ? 

Thank you Cheers Carey 

Yes!  I admire Joe's work.  A back issue of OSN featured his workshop.  Wish I had known about him in 1959 - went to high school in Berwyn, a stone's throw from Norristown.  Even had a classmate named Dorazio, among other quite famous names.

Hello All, I do have the copy O scale railroading! I will get some photos as soon as contractor gets our new bathroom done and I can get to locomotive for photos!

Hi,

Still working on remodel of bathroom so I can't get to Loco to take photos!  Major project with bathroom!!

I understand Tom; I remodeled 2 bathrooms...not fun!

Well I'm back! The bathroom is done! Shortly after completion my replacement knee that was installed October 2016 ( in what I called  a textbook perfect surgery/result)  decided to  get infected!!   So October 1 2020 I started the "process" to replace the knee. It required 2 surgeries, 3 stays in hospital for 16 total days, 3 stays in rehab hospital for 87 days and 178 days confined to hospital bed ( which results in one learning to walk again).                  Anyhow here are the photos  of locomotive  it is a turned brass boiler very heavy, set up to run 2 rail or inside 3 rail with DC operations.             

The bathroom picture is good...🤨 🙂

Tom, luv that roll-in / walk-in shower!!  I'm looking at some joint replacement and am very familiar with post surgery infections.

Would you share (email in profile) some additional views of your bath room shower conversion?

Sorry about your knee.  How long after surgery did the infection set in?

When you are back to 100%, pull that model off the shelf and into the sunlight and try again.  With your permission, we could lighten and enhance a good shot without the glass in front of it.

Infection occured just short of 4 years after first joint replacement. No way to tell where it came from. Get a infection it can travel to that replaced joint!  I'll get my grandson to help get it down so we get some better photos. Little story when he was 5 or 6 he came up to set up an LGB set under the Christmas tree and he is very diligent in his work and after we tested it for a bit he asked me Grandpa could I have some of your trainsI?  I told he probably could have them his next question was  "Do I have to wait for you to die?"
