Gotta stick up for Steamer5 on this one crueby. Since the elves read the forum, and you posted the pictures, then YOU told the elves - not him. No passing the buck on that one.Don

Chris, Keep up the good work!Oh IF the elves are outside have the taken the Lombard out for quick lap??Cheers Kerrin
Hi Chris, Glad we aren't the only ones have fun weather!Sounds like you've got some playing to do. From discussion on loco breathing it sounds like you are on the right track. How much trouble to put in bigger pipes?Cheers Kerrin
fortunately its a nice warm day finally, and the elves are out chasing squirrels and forgetting what I did.

Chris....have re-read , maybe I missed it........will this arm be re-positioned 'upwards' & how is this arm secured on the rotation axis?..........Derek
Hi Chris, The engine in the pic looks great! I hear you about making the piles of studs bolts nuts etc. for multiple engines. Also about play at pivots in linkages. At about 0.1 mill limiters play in each joint, it only takes 5 joints and you have half a mill limiter slop! In engine terms - big enough to drive a truck through - or for a valve not to get kicked off a port..... Snug pins in links are best of course but then it's a job to get things to move smoothly. But when they do......... Just think though - in a few weeks the sun will be out, the coats will be hung up and the only throw we will care about is the one from the mound to home at the local park, and the only links we will care about are the sausage ones on the BBQ! (He said, as he watched snowflakes fall on 15 Apr 2019!)I'll tell you the story about how mill limiters got their name another day.
As ever still following along but struggling to keep up (244 pages ) Excellent as ever I do like the mini vice (make the tool to make the model)
