    Hoglet build cooling fins

    I am back on the hoglet build I started in 2009. I am struggling with the cylinder fins. I tried free hand grinding a bit; that was a miserable failure: chatter, poor cutting... I could use some suggestions to get the fins cut. Thank you.

    Loco linkage question

    I am building a little 0-4-0 from some Internet plans. How should the cylinders and linkage be phased from one side of the engine to the other. Should the both cylinders be at tdc at the same time, should one cylinder be at tdc while the other is at bdc or some other variation ?
