It has been some time since I posted to this forum - lots of things going on in life.
The engine has just been commissioned and runs well.   The next step will be to assemble the govenor, add the PTO pulley and dismantle and and paint.  interesstingly, the aluminuium flywheel turned out to have sufficient inertia and did not need any additional weighting.

I Have just been looking at the previous post's and have noted that R&W worked at Dukes palace just up the road from where i live at No 81, and am glad to be carrying on the noble practice of steam engine manufacture in such close proximity.!!
