The Bridgenorth Stuart castings are very good, it was the dregs from the previous foundry that left a bit to be desired That looks very Brassy. Are you not worried with the Ali base that the engine is going to jump around a bit when it gets swinging around? Jo
Bridgenorth? where is that, these ones came from Bridport.
Well there might be others Phil
Well you have got to make them look authentic

How do you know when ordering castings if you are getting the ones from the new or old foundry? Did they use up or toss the old stock?
Spent a while doing the two pivot supports, the valve one is quite fiddly as there are a lot of small holes that all have to intersect and not go deeper than they should.
So Jo does that mean that you have found the Muncaster drawings?
Does this mean you do all your redrawn engines with 24mm bores? The original Munchaster engine is 8" long with 4" flywheels and 1" bore. Maybe you have mounted the crank in a different position on the base plate on your model as on the original the flywheels end level with the end of the curve on the base plate Jo
All the ones I have done with a 24mm bore - Jowitt, Muncaster, Thompstone, CHUKY and this Oscillator. There are a few more part drawn up that will also have the same bore
