Has anyone had the problem of the axle pump in the way of the weight shaft?

Many thanks,

This is a known problem and was mentioned by Martin Evans in a later article in which he described an ‘improved’ axle pump. The cure mentioned by Martin is to reduce the diameter of the weighshaft in the middle so that it clears the outlet union on the pump. The error was supposed to have been corrected in later versions of the drawings.

Many thanks for your help John, I thought I had made another **** up!

I am not suprised! I am a complete novice and the loco is not a begineers project!

It would help if the drawings where corrected and updated, or how about a note telling the builder of the problems.

Better still let hundreds of people make the same parts that will not work time and time again!

Please could someone at Model Engineer get drawings updated!!

ll the best,
