Stuart,
Of course we want to see what is inside. Picture a guy jumping up and down with a sign that says WE Want Pictures.

Very nice work is it 1" to the foot scale?

Dan

Stuart:
Dan

I will get the valve stripped down tomorrow and get the canon 7d and 17 -40 L out then


it is infact 1 and 1/16 to the foot that give 5 inch gauge true scale if it was 1 inch to the foot the full size would have a 5 foot gauge not 4 foot 8 1/2 inches

its just me and the heap of plans that dictate the sizes


where we have to deviate is the boiler fixings bolt on would not be robust enough

Dan Rowe:
Stuart,
I often wondered about the scale for 5" gauge. I see that I am not the only guy building to a unhandy fraction.
