Its mostly complete, I need to make pins for the valves and connecting rods and recut another flywheel. I made a small mistake in now allowing for the cutter on the spokes so altho useable it is not correct.
It runs very well the govenor is perhaps the most time consuming as it has so many small parts and will tax your brain on building fixtures to hold the bottom sliding piece. Also finding a cold monkey to get the brass ball counterweights, (that ain't easy in the summer time).
