Thanks guys for sharing here your experience on how to drill perfect holes through sheetmetal. I followed your instruction while experimentally drilling through extremely thin sheetmetal (aluminum and steel) and now I get much better precision results. I prefer to use cheap scrap material (aluminum and steel), because copper, brass and whitemetal would be more costly on long term.

Certainly this is NOT a LITTLE diesel

It is an EMD export locomotive type G22U built in license by MACOSA.

I prepared a scratch-built pair of 6-wheel-trucks with hi-rail axles and fuel tanks separately.

Later I will update more photos, but I would like to see also your scratch-built tinplate models.

btw, that is a nice little diesel you are working on. It would look great on a pair of Marx E unit diesel trucks!
