Anyones thoughts on this? Regards LilyJack ps: Hughb, pictures of old beer bottles.. How old do ya think I am ya cheeky burger!!!!!!!!! haha. Wheels look good incidentally..

As in erm, steam entry and exit points? Just a question from someone thats never steamed an engine let alone build one. I can see you all singing "The wheels on engine go round and round...." But to me it seems quite important knowing exactly whats what and HOW it all works Cheers, ...

In the photo is the Governor Base, the Water Pump Body and the Check Valve Body. The 20p is not a casting or included! I hope you'll be as pleased with the quality as both Steve and I are. All the best.

I found some lumps on the shaft were the big end fits.. these have come from were the bar or shaft that is pressed into the two bell parts of the crank and has been squashed together too much, this has forced the metal out meaning the big end bush wont fit in the gap between the two bells and even if it did it would be turning on these lumps created...

Fronts £92.00 for the pair. Rears £184.00 for the pair. Both prices include vat but not carriage which would charged at cost. If your tempted, then remember that everything that's bright and shiny comes back dull and dingy. Any paint finish is all but destroyed. On a positive note they will never come off.

I found when i had the slide bars fitted up to the weighshaft bracket and cylinder the crosshead when at full stroke towards the backhead could move up and down in the slidebars by about 1 or 2 mill. the crosshead was also a little tight up at the rear cylinder cover. It doesnt really stress this part that much in the instructions but the slidebars fitting the cross head properly is VERY important. if you want your engine to not ...

Nope only kidding, was good to see the set up at STW, first impressions last and mine was that it was a good set up all round with a very determined driving force towards customer relations (you can quote me on that). So, here I am sat looking at me front wheels and I've a question (NO, NOT HOW DOES IT GO TOGETHER!!!), Anyone know of ...

Just wondered if anyone has cut their boiler cleading into smaller parts to fit it around the boiler,and if they have,has it worked.

Any advice would be very helpful,thanks

If the inside surface needs polishing can some one tell me the best way to do so. making slow progress but will all look very nice when done! Thanks in advance ...

Firstly the top slide bar has been tapped 5ba and the oiler we have sent has been threaded M4. The hole in the slide bar will require opening out to 3.3mm and retapping M4. If you have the capability to do this then please do so. If you would rather send it back for us to rectify then please return it and we will drill and tap it and return it straight away. Please remember to enclose you name and address. Secondly, ...

I have found three problems with fitting the fire box doors. 1. the boiler boss for the water gauge extension B21228 is 1mm longer than the boss for the top fire door runner, and therefore, on tightening the screws, causes the runner to bend. I have spoken to Steve about this and it is OK to file down the boss to be level with the fire door boss. 2. The bottom fixing screws being countersunk in a slot are pushing the bottom runner up and tightening onto the bottom ...
