Well the loco has been on the back boiler for long enough and I keep getting the od :poke: about it but I keep getting infected with :proj: and side tracked away, so decided that I would have to do somthing stern to get myself back on track:-

RITE A TO DO LIST
This is it pinned up in the shop, now thats stern stuff :D

First part to get started on the regulator stand, you can get a casting for this but decided it could be easily fabricated, its mainly brass with a phos bronze port face.

These are the bits for the stand machined.

I then silver soldered the bits together, I was going to take a picture of the soldered stand:p but desaster struck I'd had it in the pickle for 1/2 hr took it out and went to wash it off in the garden pond.

Yes thats correct I dropped it in the pond :doh:

I've currently got the pump going emptying the pond, it has got me a few brownie points the boss's been on about cleaning the pond out for ages, I havn't told her why I'm doing it. ::)
