Thanks John but I would like to have something nice looking come out of my shop at least once in a while! :doh: The tool post grinder did an excellent job of getting the weld splatter off and trued the 'journal' nicely without putting terrific strain on the assembly. I have bought quite a few nice toys over the years and never had the time to really learn how to use them properly and the MIG welder is one of them. :lol: |

Nice use of the grinder John :thumbup: :thumbup: Cheers Stew |

I am redesiging the engine unit on my loco i am building, the original plans required the use of castings (no long available) and the slide valves were hidden in the middle of the cylinder block (a pain to try and set the timing of the valves). Are you designing it as you go along or have you worked it all out? gingerneer |
