Nocked up a fire door this morning so I could 3D the problem :scratch: Spent a bit of time down the club talking the option over with the guys, the best option would be to have the hinges at the bottom of the door, apparently on small gauge engines this arrangement is easy for driving, also did a bit of on line searching and found an engine the same as mine with the door hinged from the bottom it looks like the builder came across the same problem as me. Just to make sure I'm going to make the bottom end of the water gauge and the feed clacks so that I can check they won't foul the door, if they do only option will be to make a new back head and position the clacks under the door.

Don`t fully understand yer problem Stew...... :scratch: BUT, I`m quite confident you`ll sort it! Bottom hinged? Hmmmm..... That`s lateral thinking! :clap: As Dave Lee Travis used to say. "Think literally. Think laterally"..... It works! :thumbup: David D |

Sorry to hear about this problem, Stew. At least it's not a fault with your own work! Hinging the door toward the bottom looks like it makes perfect sense. I hope it works for you without other obstacles. Thanks for the updates. This is a great build thread! Dean |
