Photo's of 2" Burrells

my flywheel key is also a poor fit, I have asked Isabel to send me a new one together with a few other bits, i have decided my expansion link brass nut is too loose so have ordered a spare. I have improved the fit of the eccentric straps on the valve gear and will sort the waterpump one this weekend, will then remove the cladding for painting.

I am very happy with how every thing now works

HI LILYJACK,
DORSET WEATHER WAS VIAIBLE !! IT VARYED FROM SHOWERS TO 'KIN PISSING DOWN AT TIMES !!! ASK DEAN HE LOVED IT !!! BUT WHEN IT WAS DRY IT WAS GOOD. 5 DAYS WAS ENOUGH THIS YEAR. ENJOYED CHATTING TO PEOPLE ON THE STAND (WHEN I WAS THERE), AND IT WAS A HANDLY PLACE TO SHELTER AT TIMES TO !! ALSO A GOOD PLACE TO WATCH THE PASSING WOMEN FROM, BUT THATS ANOTHER MATTER !!!!

BUNGLE

Pissed Tony i asked the famous Bungle that same question the other day as i had heard a lot of good things about his engine and i wanted to see for myself. He has sent me some pictures to post on here as it seems he has made a first class job of his engine and every thing everyone has been saying is correct it is absolutly stunning but he cant work out how to post pictures on here
Anyway i will let the pictures and bungle speak for themselves oh and bungle are you going to steam the engine??

I also see the very hard working and very kind David Steel in the background of the second picture so if you are reading this David get some pictures up in the 4" thread.






Regards
Mark

Opps sorry David is in the first picture i cant seem to edit my first reply!



Mark

MARK, MANY THANKS FOR DOING THAT FOR ME. AS MARK SAYS NOT GOOD WITH 'PUTERS !!

HOPE THOSE THAT HAVE ASKED ENJOY.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT DAVID IN THE BACKGROUND, HE MAKES THE ENGINE LOOK BETTER !! SORRY DAVID 1

BESIDES, IT COULD BE WORSE, IT COULD BE TONYS PANTS !!!!

REGARDS
BUNGLE

MARK, I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE EDIT BUTTON ANYMORE EITHER, WAS GOING TO CORRECT A MISTAKE, AND ADD THAT YES, DESPITE MANY PEOPLE ASKING, WE REALLY WILL BE SETTING A FIRE IN IT, WHEN WE ARE READY, THATS WANT IT WAS BUILT FOR.

BUNGLE

Thats good Bungle glad to hear it. I had a lot of people asking me the same question. Yeah the edit button seems to of gone


Have all the 2" builders had all there kits now? Just wondering when we are going to see more posts of engines in steam!



Mark

Hi Mark,thanks for putting these pics on the forum

Bungle,you have yourself a smart looking engine.Well done,but I think you've spent far too much time on it
Joking aside,it will be a pleasure to hear how your first steaming goes.

Mark,I'm waiting for my last kit which should include the lubricator,the steam injector,some handles,a few bracket bits,and maybe the replacment steering chains,oh and a whistle!! Then I get a month or two off,and then its time to build 2 wagons.All being well I should be ready for Trevithick Day in Camborne next year which sould be 24th April.

There does seem to be a lot of burgundy engines in the photos forum,has anyone apart from Hugh and I (2" builders) gone for any other colour,I might paint my next one bright yellow.....ha ha!!!!!!!

Time to call it a night,cheer's for now,

Tony

THANKS FOR YOUR KIND WORDS TONY. BRIGHT YELLOW A, HAVE YOU SEEN 'WAIT AND SEE' THE BURRELL SHOWMANS IN BRIGHT YELLOW ??

BUNGLE

Hi Bungle

Yes I have seen "Wait and See" thats why I suggested yellow.We will have to wait and see

cheer's Tony
