Hi,
Before continuing working on new parts of the model what has already been done has been tidied up: the flywheel has been skimmed, the crankshaft bearing pedestals along with the column have been painted, the wooden base of the column has been varnished, the eccentric and its sheaf have been fitted on the crankshaft and any temporary screws have been replaced.
With this done a new bolt to hold the connecting rod to the beam has been made. The parallel motion has been cleaned up before checking that it works. A suitable cast resin figure of an engine driver has been bought and painted by Mrs. B. This is as likely as far as it will go for a bit as I am now concentrating on building a new portable 16 mm scale model railway layout; however I am bound to get a bit board or have to wait for some materials when some further work will be done on the beam engine.
