Anyone any idea why you can only add 1 picture at a time... when you go to add more it wipes the message out..

The wheels returned to me complete with tyres, having waited 18 months and then started over again I am well pleased... the picture below also shows a Heavy Haulage trailer wheel .... this will form part of this project as well

There´s a "more attachments" option, that makes it possible to ad several pictures to one post, found right below the initial one John.

[ Guests cannot view attachments ]

...and thanks for taking us through the details of your build, a very interesting project indeed  :)

I've kicked my self loads of times I never got the milling attachment, I brought mine from Axminster Power Tools in 1996, shortly after Inca was sold to an investment Co that scrapped everything all the spares went in a skip 😥

Turned up a couple of sets of spacers for the chain sprocket wheels, then machined out a section on the inner face of the outter wheel to clear the nuts on the stud....

Turned up a couple of spacer discs for the trailing pair of wheels to the keep the chain in line

This is a fantastic build.

I just re-read the entire thread.

Really looking forward to seeing more.

You are on a roll. Ride that wave of momentum! 🤠

A parcel arrived from Clevedon Steam with one of their twin cylinder oscillating Virgo Paddle engine kits, this will be the engine to drive through a gearbox and chain drive etc. Once I've built the kit, might be a slight lull in construction at the mo as I have a shed load of traction engine parts to prep and ship out next.

Picked up the boige castings this week and bored them out to fit the meccano axles, then built a bench jig to build the boige and set up the chassis on.

Lastly dismantled a pair of chain sprockets to mount the sprocket as a paired set on one boss for the main drive from the gearbox.
