      Have just returned to model engineering after I retired. The last time I did anything like this was in GCE metalwork at school many years ago. It's surprising how much you remember, and also how much you forget. My first project was a Stuart Turner 10H. I'm now on with a Lady Stephanie beam engine which is testing my patience to the extreme – so many 10 and 12 ba bolts. I'll try and publish some pics if I'm not too ashamed of my handywork.

                A Lancastrian, presumably?

                  'God's Own County' – a film described thus by IMDB:

                  Spring. Yorkshire. Young farmer Johnny Saxby numbs his daily frustrations with binge drinking and casual sex, until the arrival of a Romanian migrant worker for lambing season ignites an intense relationship that sets Johnny on a new path.

                  Yup. That's the exactly sort of thing we expect of them Northerners…

                  Welcome Bob. Don't be ashamed of your handiwork – it can't possibly be worse than mine!  Despite all the help I've had off the forum.

                    Hi Bob, I built lady Stephen some years ago and thought some part are like watch making. I did not think much of thr beam casting and fabricated one from mild steel.

                    Go luck with your build.

                    Regards Pete

                          Thank you all for your welcoming messages. Don't know where Herefordshire or Granthan are – somewhere down south presumably. We have a saying "Yorkshire born and Yorkshire bred, strong in the arm and good in bed".

                          I'll start a construction thread and post some photos of Lady Stephanie.

                            Hello Pete. Yes I agree. The quality of the castings left a lot to be desired. The flywheel was full of inclusions and the entablature was way out of true. In the end I prefabricted the it and assigned the casting to the scrap bin !
