Nice slick machining there Stew, you've certainly got the swapping over between machines sorted now.

Never be afraid to go forwards, I am sure that when it is all fitted to the frame, things will go smoothly, and you will wonder what all the worrying was about.

Even if it doesn't go to plan, I am sure a man of you calibre will soon have it sorted.

That looks great Stew, those parts are far too complex for me. Just catching up after been off for 2 weeks moving house etc. Still no internet at home yet, was disgusted to find it'll take the ISP 17 days to flick a couple of switches and send out the odd letter!

Good luck with the assembly.

I don't think I'll be active in the workshop for a while, it almost brings me to :( it's a double garage and used to be a show house so it's plastered out and has a radiator in it, however, the problem is i can't get into it as everything is just dumped whilst "priorities" lie with the house and garden apparantly!

Hi Nick

I was wondering where you were, sent you a work email but it went to Mike of the same name :doh: I must have done it before as he asked me how I was doing with my new mill :lol:

I wanted to ask how the cross head pin in your loco was assembled :scratch: I've followed the drawing but some how it doesn't seem quite right.

Sounds like you've got the makings of a nice shop when you've got the tribe settled in.

Have fun

Stew

Stew, :lol: quite funny that Mike remembered what the conversation was about!

I will try to have a look for you tonight. Mabel is one of the few things I can get to, I put it on the floor on some laminate flooring underlay for my 3 year old son to play with while I tear old shelves down and the like! He won't leave it alone, he's been sat on the tender, losing bits etc. (luckily found them now) - I keep telling him we just need to tidy the garage , fix the loco then it'll work .. he just says "we will tidy the garage now daddy"!

Anyway, looks like Mabel is the first job when the garage is sorted now. I'm going to completely strip it down as none of the chassis is painted.

Will try to check the cross head pin tonight although I'm not sure I'll be able to see much will it come out without taking loads of other bits and pieces off first?
