--- Quote ---Are you still thinking of mounting it vertical & having a spot of line shafting for it to drive? I think that would really cap off a fabulous build. --- End quote --- Ade Thats what I'm thinking about doing, I took the engine round to Johns for a natter and to bounce some ideas off him regarding the base it was my plan to make a brick wall but with the correct 1/3 scale bricks they would be lost behind the engine and it wouldn't look like a wall. John has a very nice piece of red oak that we think would make a base to mount it horizontally and to add some line shafting to it, so eventually that will be the plan, but in the mean time I can display it horizontally on the base. John very kindly offered to machine the red oak up as I've an allergy to hard wood dust, I come out with a very uncomfortable rash. Thank you all for comments munch appreciated. Stew |

John has very kindly finished the base he's used a beautiful piece of oak, I've added some bun feat to it made from draw knobs. This is it on its posh base I'll post a video of the finished engine running tomorrow. Stew Stew |
