Tin, ausdier, and anyone else I might have missed, THANKS guys for the FAST and excellent response. Very much appreciated. This is a beautiful engine. I hope I have what it takes to make it. I'll probably be here with lots of questions so please be patient with me. I'll keep you posted. Next step , after all this printing (!) is to talk to my machinist bro-in-law for help with the drawings. I'm used to Elmer type plans and this is way beyond that! Take care and I'll be back, baby!
