Howdy Folks,
I've been putting together my little machine shop for the past several months and now that it is getting near the point where I can actually build something with it I'm preparing for my first engine build. I've been storing up a few plans, some more complicated than others but have decided to go with Elmer's #25 for the first go 'round. I've seen some beautiful renditions of that model posted in various places along with nice photos on setup for the pieces.
The only thing is....
On the pages that I downloaded from John-Toms, in the far lower right corner there is what I believe to be the steam connector. Hard to tell because the original scan didn't quite cover that corner of the document so the image or outline of the part isn't there but a few letters are visible. I'm thinking I could probably SWAG it here but for my very first engine I figured I'd better be sure about it.
Does anyone have a better scan of #25 plans or suggestions or should I just buck up and make the part how I think it oughta be and make it work?
