hi all, a few more images. its starting to look like a NA now. the chimney was turned on my lathe,

as was the air compressor. handrails and pipes are various sizes of brass wire. the filler caps (i think there filler caps? ) are heads of pins.

hi all, well i had a go at casting the boiler/side tanks. they turned out quite good. plenty of weight. the truck is a model tt truck, it is by micron art, http://www.micronart.com/index.html

hi all, been a while i know. here are a few recent pics. the new boiler section i have made is out of styrene. i will reproduce this in whitemetal. two reasons for this. i need the weight and i have multiple NA's on the go. so i only have to make one master.

not much added to the NA but i have had a go at some trackwork. the points are 5mm gauge.

there made by hand using code 40 micro-engineering rail and nn3 pcb sleepers from fast tracks.

Hi all, i have reworked the shaft. There is another support and a universal joint. Its hard to see but these are uni joints supplied by hollywood foundry. The mechinism still needs a good run in. need to build track. there is a piece of lead on top for traction. this will be replaced by the boiler and side tanks.

i finished the drive to the spur gear. runs well. I was a bit worried that the reduction on the g15 motor was going to bo to slow, but it looks ok to me. sorry the video is a bit blurry.

a few more images so far, the cylinders need to redone as there isn't enough clearence for the rods. i will increase the spacing by 0.7 mm from the centreline.
