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

Good looking project, hex head bolts in frame are a nice touch, have you checked the gearing, from my experience with TE's it may have to be geared down a bit more.

Point taken on gearing - thanks.
I have used meccano gears to date and selected the ones that were in proportion to the full size engine so trying to keep looking realistic.
On reflection I think best to steam up and test at this stage before proceeding.
Glad you mentioned it - thanks.
