Let's make it easy, since you have the side frames, just put me down for all of page 15.

Pat I will say that I will make 10 of page 9 and the cyl. heads and glands on page13 , if I can get this done I will make more . I am going to try to get this started today . The cyl. will be of bronze and the heads and glands of brass if this is o.k. . I hope this helps in your planing . Thanks Dale

Anyone used a "screw plate" to cut threads? I'm looking at this set:

Okay here is an update ...

chucketn ... welcome aboard. Glad you decided to join us.
Although page 15 has been assigned, page 7 and 12 are up for grabs. In my opinion,
page 7 is the less critical of the two. So let me know ... would like to close it out.

chrispare ... okay we'll give it a try. I have moved item 23 to dalem9 as it makes sense to make it with the cylinder head.

ninefinger ... thanks for taking on the Eccentric now those will match perfect.

rhitee93 ... okay page 15 is yours. Is it okay that item 26 (Valve Link Bellcrank) and item 36 (Steam Chest Cover) are still yours?

dalem9 ... Looks like you are all set ... the material selection is perfect.

joe d ... where are you?

I will update the Excel spreadsheet after I hear back on the above.

Wait ... joe d has an input still ... your good for page 7 and if he declines page 12 ... then that can be yours also.
But are you sure? ... that would be lot of parts?

rhitee93 ... thanks.

Sorry, forgot about Joe d. Page 7 is still good.

Pat the plans I have do not # the parts , can you tell me what part # 23 is . Thanks Dale

Are we at liberty to modify the parts design to simplify? Or would the proper protocall be to suggest the modification to the team and get a vote on it?
For example, the crankshaft connecting rod assembly on page 7 would be easier to make if the left end of the connecting rod was threaded 10-32 or 8-32 and the connecting rod bearing mad a little longer and tapped to fit on the end of the connecting rod. What is the purpose of the keeper plate, other than another detail? I don't have silver soldering capability.
This is something I would do if I were building on my own.
