Looks spot on that Stew, even more impressive that you've seen this engine in full size, done your research and now creating it in miniature. :bow: Nick |
| Divided he ad:
Well Stew, I've missed much of this (head being in the clouds!) But I've just read through it all and I'm very impressed :clap: You take a little time from your loco to relax and end up making an engine from one you saw and thought you'd like to make... Top job! :beer: :nrocks: I'm liking your progress so far :thumbup: Ralph. |

Thanks Guys Happy new year Ralph sorry I missed you over at Johns the other week Ever had one of those days when you think you should have stayed in bed. Putting the pipe coupling on the steam chest cover I turned the bit up, and soldered it to the cover, this is the set up I used to solder it, coupling sitting on a flat surface cover angled bit of heat onto the mill to clean the top of square and drill the stud holes. This is what I ended up with. You can see that the darn thing has slipped and I've ended up with quite a taper on the flange Strike 1 over to plan B Cut it off and clean the solder off and start again this time I thought it would be more stable if I milled an angle on the coupling Line it up on the cover and solder it on, square it up drill holes. Nope the double darn thing :bang: :bang: had moved also and looked like the leaning tower of thingy. Strike 2 over to plan C No more piddling about and stop trying to be cleaver just solder a lump of brass on the cover mill the top off square and drill the holes. That sorted it :thumbup: :D Stew |
