Thanks for all your kind comments guys. that little steady I saw some ware and though that's a good idea, so when the need arose I made one, and glad I did.

Next bit up is the union coupling of the manifold to the steam chest, this had to be a naval type coupling otherwise the darn thing wouldn't screw together. The bits were just straight forward machining.

Her they are the little round mushroom bit screws into the square body through the nut its fixed in place with stud lock, tightening the nut onto the union on the manifold tightens onto it an make the seal, hope that made sense :scratch:

Also made the oiler as I won't be running on steam its not a proper displacement oiler just a look a like, to use just unscrew the cap put a few drops of oil in screw the cap on tight, turn the air on and it will flush the oil into the cylinders.

Her's a pic of it all assembled onto the engine.

Starting to look a bit tasty.

Waiting for some 12mm dia thin wall brass tube to be delivered for the wistle, that will be the next bit.
