  You have done a nice job on this build.
  
  Thanks for a wonderful build thread.

  Mutter mutter fr.. reversing gear.
  This is my first attempt at making reversing gear and a twin at that.
  All does not go well due to not a lot of room only one eccentric has a bolt to hold to crank shaft .
  The other eccentric is pinned to its mate .
  60 degrees it says to give  a 120 offset .
  Either my 60 “ are out or my maths or direction sucks .
  I will have to make some more eccentrics and time them one at a time then pin together when running
  I am still waiting for some bolts to arrive so it all may go on a rest for a while,.
  Good news is last night i had it running on 10 psi of steam .
  I suppose this is  what happens when you try to punch above your weight .
  
  Cheers
  Dennis

• Well i confess ,I think this idea of reversing and compound is above my pay grade .
  This was my first attempt at making reversing gear and also compounding.
  I have  removed the reversing assembly.
  After it is run in and I regain my enthusiasm i will try again
  I think it is time I make a proper flywheel and this one is just aluminium .
  Another run on steam tonight

• Bonjour Dennis,
  Great job indeed ! I can't wait to see the test on steam (the oil displacement lubricatour does not work with air). And the reverse ould be a great plus, even for a compound.

  Good Morning Raphael.     The video above is on steam from the electric boiler .
  No exhaust visible as it is piped outside
  
  Cheers

• Bonjour Dennis,
  (Almost) not a single water leak, not a single steam trace ! What an adjustment ! You have made a really good job, this machine deserves a hull
