Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

Hi,

As only one of the CMES garden railway group visited the shed last evening for the weekly meet; I did a bit more work on the engine while he got on with a modification to one of his engines.  So, the part that supports the parallel motion which was two pieces has been hard soldered together.  The top of the column that supports the bearings of the beam was taken apart and its centre found to be a piece of mahogany.  All the holes in the mahogany were plugged it was then found to be too narrow so some thin plywood spacers were glued to it.  Some might be wondering why bother just cut another piece of wood or metal retrospectively so am I!
