 :beer::beer: Well that worked a lot better using that program thanks.
So now you can see the head my dad had cast I have no idea why it is made in two halves, anyways I have been figuring out how the 6a  is put together by looking at all the pics I am still puzzled about how the conrod connects to the piston rod it appears that the rod is closer to the slide and the wrist pin runs beside it. I would think that would cause a shear effect on the brass slide but I'm a long way from doing that! I will have to start finishing off the head once the steam chests are on it I can figure out how long the crank has to be i,ve figured out  the stroke assuming the piston dose not go over the ports. That will give me time to see if I can find some plans, the stuart site says that they just moved and the master plans are locked in the vault and to try back near the end of the year.

Hi and welcome to MadModder.

Tom, those photos work much better at the new size. We look forward to following along with your build as you progress.

Bill. Is "Okotoks" in Alberta? I'm just not that great on my Canadian geography knowledge for towns and cities. Perhaps you could start a new post in "Introductions" and tell us a bit about yourself.

We look forward to the participation of both of you in the forums.

Cheers  :beer:

Don
