Lister 6/1 Diesel

[HobbyNut]

Hi, new to your board here, but I do recognize some other posters.
I am starting to build the Lister diesel that is being published in Model Engineer. It is by a fellow Aus. which is what interested me to start, as well as the fact that I had experience with them back 50 years or so.
If anyone is interested, I will post some pics here as I go.
Pat.

All I have to do is figure out how to post pics here!!!

You either need to have the images hosted somewhere, the ones you have on ME will do just go into albums and click so the picture so it is not a thumbnail then right click, properties and copy the url. Then click the insert image icon (next to youtube) on here and paste ithe url between the ] and [

Or you can just add them straight from your computer as attachments, at the bottom of the box you post a reply in you will see " + Attachments and other options" should be self explainitary from there.

Tried the attachments option Jason, and hit preview, and nothing appeared, so I may try the link method. Thanks for your help, both here and over there.

[Jasonb]

The images won't show in preview, only at the bottom when the reply is posted. something like this, the large image is using the insert image, in this case from ME and the thumbnail from that image which I saved on my computer.

Ah, I see that you are clever with this stuff....I am still learning!
See if this turns out.
OK, it works.
This is the end plate for the crankcase. Waterjet cut from 2" MS plate.

[HobbyNut]

These are some more waterjet cut plates for the crankcase.

All the pieces tacked together.

I think you may need to resize the images a bit before adding them as attachments, when the thumb is clicked they come up too big and need scrolling to view. Try about 700 wide.

It looks really good Pat 

Looking forward to seeing more of it.

Fixed them Jason, thanks.
The pieces are slightly different to the plans around the cover plate. I may redo them.

Wow! This is going to a fun build to watch. Nice plate work, Hob'.

Wow, indeed! I shall certainly be watching this one.

A full size 6/1 played a big part in my early life. I lost count of the number of times I had the head off for a de-coke . . . it was running way too light a load, and had about 10 feet of 2" water pipe for an exhaust.

Looking good so far

Just so everybody is in the know.
I am building this from plans that are being serialized in ME.
It was originally built by George Punter. He used castings that he made himself. I am not so talented, so I decided to fabricate it entirely from "barstock" and sheet steel, aluminum and brass.
I am also building a Steam locomotive and a traction engine, both also from barstock.
