Excellent work Stew, :bow: Your thread has given me loads of ideas for getting around jobs :clap What a pretty little engine...though I have to confess I could not see the relationship between steam engines and popcorn (well, peanuts) so thanks for the photos and old brochures. I am in awe of your plans...mine are from the Walt Disney school of technical drawing :lol: Keep it up, I will be watching this with interest. Andy |

Thanks Guys Stuart that usefull info on dealing with cad free silver solder thanks. Added a bit of fancy work to the steam chest cover, its a bit flimsy to grip so soft soldered it to a chunk of brass, centering it by eye. Then over onto the spin indexer, centred the tool again by eye, you don't do the cuts on centre you off set it a bit, and cut the aster :D. Gave it a bit of heat to melt it off the solder, and a clean and polish. That looks better. Made a start on the piston, turned the piston up from a bit of stainless steel:- thanks Dave :thumbup:, made it about 0.3mm over size, and put a groove in it for the packing, parted it off, and screwed it onto the rod with studlock, I'll giive it a bit of time to cure before I bring it down to size.
