Hi Bruce,

So, did you actually build the dbl 10 Tony ?

Yes, found it under the bench yesterday, a bit dusty and tarnished, the the exhaust pipe has had a knock. I remember know at the time I was learning plating and gold plated the lubricator!  Also, the Model Engineer had an article on making and fitting cast iron piston rings of which I made many before fitting two to the pistons that didn't break, which also improved my vocabulary.

Sorry to hear about the rain interfering with your Garden rail meet, just curios...what is the alternative when that happens ?

We have a covered area at the bottom of our garden a sort of rustic summer house known as the 'Winter Palace' and had the rain continued it is a healthy three hundred walk to the pub down the road.

As it was the sun shone at midday and all afternoon, though it was very windy. I will undoubtedly be boreing you with the videos that friends made when I have cobbled them together.

Take care Tony.
