Hi Engineers,

Regretfully another misprint has been discovered, in ME 4398 pages 252 and 253 concerning the length, between centres, of the eccentric rods.

On the drawing on page 252 it is quoted as being 7 13/32″ and in the text on page 253 it is given as 7 3/32″

I can confirm that the correct dimension is 7 13/32″

For Ray McMahon.

Hi Donald, maybe an errata page could be printed at the end of the series for future constructors.

just a thought.

Regards Nick.

It is for this very reason that I have opted to purchase a set of drawings. Yes, they are expensive, but to maintain your sanity and keep your blood pressure down I think it is cheap. I can assure you, that having made a loco from magazine published drawings it will not take you long to realise that it is a worthwhile expenditure. It will not only save you money in scrapped components, but a more precious commodity time. No, I do not have any connection with the drawing supplier other than as a customer.

Nick whilst I go along with your ‘errata’ page, the end of the series will be for a few constructors, a bit to late.I do not include myself in that, but from reading these posts quite a few are keeping up with the series. It is a good job that Ray is keeping an eye on things.
