--- Quote from: kwackers on July 19, 2012, 03:28:04 PM ---Just had a look at mine and the bracket that fits to the right of the steam box (as you look directly at it) would foul the steam fitting if it were on that side... My plans are dated 1954 though, so perhaps it's changed! I guess if it's the case then you can either mirror the reversing gear or just tap all the holes you've made and loctite some threaded rod in then machine/file it flat before sticking the steam fitting on the other side (assuming you're painting the steam chest). --- End quote --- Darn. My plans are from 1953 (I think), and that's what I've been following. Note that I'm talking about the exhaust port on the cylinder, not the steam intake on the valve chest. I'd hate to have to mirror the whole reversing gear, though I guess it would make for a unique engine :D This one seems fine with the exhaust hole on the right though: as does this 10V: so I think I'm OK.

Ah - I *presumed* you were talking about the inlet on the chest so you'll be fine! My exhaust is on the right and the inlet on the left, it's only a problem if you move the inlet over to the right! (I don't think the exhaust is an issue, in theory it could be on either side) |
