Progess has been slow due to other commitments but now I’m hitting the workshop in ernest.

The base, firebox and baseweight are assembled.

The engine standard has been curved to fit the firebox, axle bushes turned and soft soldered to the bottom of the standard and the portface has been drilled/milled and riveted and soft soldered to the top of the standard.

Last night I turned the crank and crank pin, I just need to tap it 5BA now (guess what the one tap I’m missing is? Grrrrrr)
