WOW man, Now this is a deep project. I just scanned all the pics, but this is definitely on my must read list. |

Stew that is great progress so far :thumbup: :clap: I have slowed on my O gauge will have to get on with it again soon |
| John Hill:
Oh dear! Stew you make me feel so inadequate! :lol: It seems in the time I have spent on my little engine you have built half a locomotive! :thumbup: |
| NickG:
Looks like it's going well Stew. It's amazing to think that this thing will be puffing around merrily pulling a few passengers! |

Well I've spent a fiddly couple of days trying to assemble the linkage into the loco frame its a bit like knitting steel. The drawings a write are are a bit fague as to how to fit it together it just say use BA fixing, all the holes are 1/8 so I used M3 threads as I have a supply of self loc M3 nuts, but as I started to get thing together I realised there wasn't enough room to fit nuts, all the pivot pins would have to loctited in place, a job I will leave untill last. This is the assembly from the top And from below I tried turning it over by hand but everything loced up, I fiddled about a bit and it still loced up, fidled a bit more still loced. So went for me tea and a think :scratch: I havn't set the timing I think thats the problem and I havn't connected the valves rods so tomorrow that what I'll do and have another go. wish me luck Stew |
