A few more parts for the govenor and also the exhaust valve linkage. Would have posted this earlier but the computer failed new one installed and working

There is always a mute button for that

old documents and photos of original stuff is great,, started adding details as per,, the level of uniform that the LT. will wear does allow for a sword to be carried,, good info on the navy sword so they may be some 1/6th scale "forged in fire" ahead..

Adding to the previous thread mentioned by Richard ... Beamish, and of course working steam railways all over the place.

Today I stole a page from Andrew Whale's book, and made up a separate machined container with the cylinders top bolt pattern and a closed end. The closed end was drilled and tapped for a M10-1 thread and a brass fitting to fit the pressurized air hose from my compressor was attached to it. The cylinder head was bolted to it, and my new compression tester was screwed into the sparkplug hole. Air pressure was applied thru the hose, and at a very low pressure, there was air escaping out the exhaust pipe. I manually pressed the end of the exhaust valve a few times, thinking that perhaps a particle of dirt had found it's way under the valve. No luck!! I disassembled everything and relapped the exhaust valve, but it still leaked. A closer look showed that something didn't look right about the valve cage. I pressed the valve cage out of the head, and found that side port that was drilled thru after the valve cage had been pressed into place had actually removed part of the valve cages sealing face.  It looks like I require a redesign of the cylinder head.  I spent a couple of hours on a redesign this afternoon, but haven't got it fully sorted yet. I guess that is what tomorrow is for.
