Hi All
Progress has been slow.
I have finished the crankshaft, finished all the steam passages, turned the pistons from cast iron and fitted the stainless rods, changed the original bushes to ball bearings, made a couple of sprockets for the eccentric shaft drive.
Finally finished tapping the 128 6ba holes 3/8" deep in the cylinder blocks, scary stuff indeed as one broken tab would mean misery?
I shall try to get some more done shortly.
Cheers for now
Mike.

Very interesting ! Like 8 single cylinder steam engines all together ! Valve timing is going to be fun :)

Cool !! :)
