That photo of the turntable a few posts back really shows the scale of this thing, unless that's one of the 'shop elves posing there in his safety boots Hope the dental work goes as well as all your other projects.Mike.

Sounds like they have a lot going on! If you hear of a date for the steam weekend this year, I'd love to know, would be great to see it, and would definitely take the model.
Hi Chris,Ok I’ll go with the expert on the pulley! I just thunked that with the chain only fitted to the grove that it may/could/would wear the pulley, especially if the pulley didn’t rotate for some reason, I realized that IF the pulley had been set up so the links could turn it but not transmitting any power, it would just “freewheel” Now that last picture is cool!Cheers Kerrin
Chris......I did go back some 20 pages prior to asking about these chain pulleys , however these later photographs really clarify & bely my questions Certainly a substantial and robust design.......[for a highly loaded application in an aggressive environment ]Derek
