Most welders would call that a pile it weld


Just pile it on.

You guys a rough.

My welds all start like that. Then I go over it with a double cut for about an hour and paint it. Werkth fer me

 

[Ethan Hamby]

It's a bunch of tack welds and not really piled up. It looks like it is because the welds on the back burned to the front lol

 

[Ethan Hamby]

It is strong so I see no issue. Gonna grind it and paint it

I'll grant you that is truly wonderful to put together a puzzle not having seen the 'before' pic.

But, you may be better off to 'mock it up' just to make sure nothing unobtanium is missing.

Check 'The Greek' eBay store for 40mm x 1.2mm rings.[emoji106]

I like a good "mechanical" mystery. Fortunately I've also found an IPL to help with solving it.

Are you making that yourself?

I had a little helper in the beginning. Just needed a double male piece to hook up his round house thingy.

My boys used to play with those, too. I've been guilty of playing with it, along with them. (And stepping on it in the middle of the night ) Probably still have it around here, too.

Blondie taught kindergarten and collected toys at garage sales for years. Then we bought our two toys and collected more at garage sales. The family room downstairs is wall to wall toys for every age group.

Our grandkids are now enjoying the collection.

And, yes, I've stepped on Brio track and stuff in the dark. Painful.[emoji21]

Thomas the train?

We have a rather large pile of Structo and Tonka metal trucks, etc.

Lionel and American Flyer as well.

Barb's dad was a Lionel dealer '46-'58.

I collected the Flyer. Added to the 1948 set my parents bought for me.

 

[Hedgerow]

It worked well mostly. Welding the stock port up sucked tho

Whoa...

Why would you want to weld the original port closed?

 

[67L36Driver]

When I was little, Christmas started by getting out the Flyer set to put under the tree.
Very early 'tinsel' was made from a rolled alloy of lead and tin. [emoji33] It shorted out the track when it fell off the tree.
