Thank you guys <3

Playing with the Variable Speed Unit, they are very handy getting the swing speed where you want it at full steam. 

Though speaking of these speed units, the windlass unit has a problem.  The main variable drive spins on its shaft (the big wheel side).  Unlike its bigger and round base brothers, these variable drive's don't have a set screw.  Perhaps if I clean the shaft and inside the variable drive I can use some super glue to "set" it into place...

I am going to try and get all of my accessories running on two engines, I think I am going to have to setup in my garage so I have enough space.  I think I know have an example of each accessory or at least what you find in the Empire book (though it seems there are two versions of the No.34 but I am not going to think about that!).
