Finally, my version of the Stuart Victoria is pretty near close to finished. There has been a lot of interest for the HM forum so I thought I'd just drop a link to my blog:

I've literally only two or three trivial components to finish off then a fair bit of tweaking and polishing and it will be good for a trial run in its completed state.
One issue with this steam engine build is continuous attention to the aesthetics of the layout, which is tough for those like me who just want an excuse to run up the machine! Also is the amount of woodwork and plumbing needed. So next project will be IC. I'm "manning up" to tackle the Whittle V8. An old timer told me if I can make the crank to spec, then the rest will be no problem... first some woodworking to do
