Hi All thanks for the comments and encouragement..... more work on the final parts made to the dimensions to fit properly....there will still be more tidying up tp finish them . the pics with the penny are the 14BA bolts for the cotter adjustment... Also some the discarded parts that were not quite correct... I have read that when Cherry Hill made her models she actually made them 2X model size to make sure everything came together and fitted and worked !!

Wow, those parts are smaller than I thought, or you got out the really big penny.

More work on the motion ..making the Radius rod hangers and fitting the parts to give the necessary clearances. Thanks for the comments and these parts are quite big compared to watch making !!!

Not a valid vimeo URL.      the engine has now been tested on compressed air again now the Motion work has been completed and adjusted. I can now make the new parts using the dimensions of the temporary parts.

Hi Chris,  yup and can't wait to finish it and do a steam run .....Also the Steam cars...can you count how many valves there are ?? and those are just the visible ones !!! I counted almost 30 myself....also the steam pressure is about 600 Lbs and the boiler has 3 layers of high tensile steel wrapped around it !!

Well done Willy.  Great to see it running well after all your detailed work.

I notice that the inner vertical link of the parallel motion has an extra bushing.  Drive for a water pump perhaps?

Looking forward to the next steps.

Hi ALL ,  Thanks for the comments  and MJM yes there is a rod that operates the boiler feed pump , and still lots of work required...here is a pic of the rod...There is also provision for a lever to operate a condenser if fitted...
