Hi Dave

I came across this the other day, its the base for the Triple but a mirror image; I guess if you were making a pair?

Thanks Sanjay : I'll leave the extra work to more determined souls, with a lot more hobby time on their hands!   But potentially an interesting idea, though as remarked, the cylinder arrangement needs alteration too...  Dave

Dave - I found your Stuart Triple Thread, I'd love to see some pictures of the progress you mentioned on my Stuart Hammer thread, I'm sure it's up to your usual superb standard! :praise2:  :popcorn: :ThumbsUp:

Thanks, Sanjay.  I must admit that losing a batch of the digital photos that I took of the work on the cylinder finishing and the steamchests and covers has a bit deflated my enthusiasm for the write-up...  But I am taking various pictures as I go on with other bits, so will at some point record a bit more of the build.  I'm inclined, as this was never intended as a consistent build log as such, to hang on until the engine is well advanced ( er,  somewhen!), and do a write up taking a bit of an overview, as I have done with some other Stuart projects.
