Thanks for all your kind comments Guys.

I was that pleased at getting it running I forgot to show how I cut back the crank

Set it up in the lathe using the fixed steady

Clocked it up.

Cut the shoulder back and faced the length back, taking small cuts with a sharp tool worked a treat.

To get the guide bar bearings on centre measured the centre line of the crank and checked piston rod was on the same centre line.

Then as I'd milled the bars concentric drill the fixing holes in the bearing housing so that the guide bar bearing come onto the centre line, this sounds as clear as mud, but I'm sure you can work it out.

Worked out well

Now that I've got the engine running I want to spend a little time doing a few other jobs before I pic it up again and make the fly ball governor and tart it up for painting fit oiler and make a proper base thinking of mounting it vertical are the original.

Thanks again

Stew

Very nice! I love the sound at slow speed. It's one of the few, 2 cylinder, double acting model steam engines I've seen where you can hear all 4 individual strokes. Simply lovely.
