Well done Stew, love your steady from the tailstock, I've always wondered how people turn small bar without it flexing ... always get a taper on it, now I know! :thumbup: |

Thanks for your interest and support chaps. Got a little done yesterday, I'm rapidly getting to the point with the build when its all about bling. Made the stop valve handle out of a bit of broom handle, I just hope the boss doesn't notice. Turned it up in the lathe and recessed it to take dime, I'll glue it in at final assembly. This us what it look like. Stew |

Now I know were that dime went that I lost. :lol: :lol: :lol: Nice work Stew. That'll be one pretty engine once it's all "blinged up". Bernd |

Thanks Bernd Our daughter brought the dime back from her resent visit to the west coast, I asked her to bring back some us change just for this just job, taking a closer look at it I realized that each state has a different design on the tail side of the coin, some of them a very nice indeed. Well I've more or less done all the machining work now, its just down to assembling the pulley for the governor and giving it a trial, then it down to some serious bling work. Last job making the whistle, not much to show in terms of machine set ups most of it was basic stuff and file work, I followed LBSC instruction for making a loco whistle he was very insistent about getting the shape of the throat correct and the disc slot, it came out fine I get a nice sharp note, that set the dogs howling in the area, I was a bit concerned that it would come with a D flatulent note :D :D :D :D Her's a few pics of the whistle fitted, I won't post any more pics of the engine now until its all blinged up.
