Hi im doing some more work on the Lady of the Lake locomotive, ive Just fitted the connecting rods. I have used Alan Gibson horn guides on this engine, they are quite fiddly but seem to have turned out ok. Im not sure that I would use them on a couple engine

Hi Jol Thank you for that, that means that the 7ft 6 wheel is ok to use.
Mike when I fitted the crank pin I drilled a small Hole in between the spokesbefore thread ing the screw in, the Hole was smaller than the screw but it made fittings the screw much easier. The kit isnt too bad to make, im not that good at building engines but I am pleased with it so far. If you do mess something up John is good at supply ing extra etches.

Catching up with the Jumbo, John Redrup has Just sent me a new chimney its an update casting and it is significantly better than the old one. I would like this and the Lady of the Lake finished this year.
Maybe time to think about that smal layout Mike. A factory, Wagon turn tables, timber, pipes , grain, capstans. Lots of modeling interest for a Wagon man.
