  It took a long time to get here but I'm pretty happy with the way it looks.
  I'm hoping to have a chance to steam it up this weekend.
  
  Cheers,
  Bill

• A very nice addition Bill, congratulations!
  
  Looks like it might be a bit more noisy and visually entertaining, when compared to the original workshop, which only has the hacksaw displaying some real movement.
  Also pretty cool to see that the low bearingposts isnīt completely forgotten by Wilesco, after all it is quite a few years since those was decommisioned as an option when ordering lineshafts.

• I like it Bill , did you buy it from station 500 ? I ask because I have something coming from Germany. I have been on a Wilesco kick here lately & have found a new appreciation for them, nice looking unit.

  Thanks Jan, I think I will hook the Vironators to the low lineshaft.

  Hi Bruce,
  Actually I ordered it from Phil at Forrest classics last June, I'm sure he will be glad to have me stop pestering him now that it has arrived.

• Nice looking. I was thinking of getting one myself. The workmen look like twins.
