Thanks Joe/Ron/jonesie

Well I've bashed the drawings into some sort of shape, I'm not a trained draightsman I've just done my best, so don't beet me up on the quality.

Drawings attched I'll also post them in the down load section.

With a bit of luck the over crank engine build will be published in ME in a few weeks time.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this will make the front cover

I've not bin idle since I finished this engine I've had a major sort out of the shed and garage, plus I've done a few small projects for my grand kids:- over hauled an old TONKA Truck and made a wheel barrow, plus done a bit of work getting a new vice up to scratch. In the comming weeks we're having the house rewired, plus we'll be moving my old dad into a nursing home so we have to sort his flat out, so their won't be much activity in the shop.

I have done a fair bit of research into a new stationary engine for later in the new year when I've got some work done on my loco:- at the moment its a toss up between a Grasshopper haulage engine and a very interesting Tripple expansion mill engine, we will see which one takes shape.

What a knock-out Stew, that is a lovely piece of work. I am enthralled by the slow running capability, poetry in motion.

Thanks:- Brock, Les and Pat.

It was a project I realy enjoyed doing and getting to share it with others is the cream on top.

And it did get on the front cover ;D
