Not really that much to report I am afraid but thought I better let you all know that I am still going! Not only am I rather busy with proper work but this valve gear business really is fiddlly! Most of the parts need to be laminated and many of them forked as well. Went wrong a couple of times as well which has meant that the supply of pins has dwindled rather as I have had to re-make parts so am now having to use wire which is calling for delicate soldering skills I never knew I had. One side is almost finished now but the other is going to be more awkward as a couple of the parts were damaged largely due to rather optimistic fineness of parts so am going to have to re-make them myself but a little sturdier. Things have not been helped though by me breaking my smallest broach this evening. These have been so useful in this build and I think that if I had been using drills the rate of part breakage would have been a great deal higher.

Things are going to remain pretty busy for a few weeks yet but will keep plugging away at it and aim to do at least something every day.
