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
