David the only weight was the water about 10ltr and coal about 2kilo and driver. the original owner wasnt a big man. there wasnt any oil holes or reasing points so I assume it has been running dry for years. Ive also bought some bronze bearing bushes and grease nipples this time Im going to keep it lubricated. cheers Graham |

here's an update on whats been happening in between holidays overseas and all :wave: after machining the boxes to size which i ended up doing on the lathe I drilled and bored out to press fit some bronze bearing bushes I also drilled right through with a 13/64th drill so I could tap 6mm for a grease nipple. used a slot drill in the mill to give a flat surface to screw it up to marked out where I had to slot for the guides then milled them out here is a phto of the finnished wheel set after turning down the wheels as well not long now before it's back on the rails :D |
