I can't see 4 inch steel tube in anything other than 1/2" wall thickness on there.

More progress. Finished the rear wheels and crankshaft, just some tidying up to do on the counterweights from being laser cut. We also managed to work out a system for building the wheels and them ending up straight, unfortunately we only worked it out on the last one, so if the others don't look so brilliant when it's running we may redo them although they're all within 0.25mm in all directions.

We've been a bit light on progress recently as we've had a fair bit of work to get through. The last of the riveting. 700 rivets in total between the tender and belly tank.

Ok. I guessed there would have been more interest in this, especially the steel boiler to our design, as we must be doing something wrong. I guess we'll go back to building it behind closed doors.

I think you will find that a lot of people quietly follow along, 2400 views suggests someone is looking in.

It will be interesting to see how the small steel boiler performs, but as it's a small engine anyway you are unlikely to be zooming around a rally field or doing road runs anyway.

Sorry, I've only just noticed the thread. Its fantastic – one of the best.

I skim down the 'recent posts' and if something doesn't appear there then I tend to miss… but I'll look out for this now.

People like me won't be commenting because I'm not worthy. I know how nice it is when I get feedback (not often) so I really should make an effort to do the same. Not so great for other people reading the thread which makes this one even better!
