    Julian, In the last two weeks I have seen every video of your series to catch up with you. I am deeply impressed by the work you have done so far, and I am looking forward to future videos.

      Thank you, it means alot to hear a comment like that, I am no expert but I'm trying to do the best I can, this is the first steam engine/traction engine that I have built, I think I have jumped into the deep end 😁

      Thank you it's slowly coming along, I'm not sure about the finish of the weyshaft bracket as it is enclosed I am thinking I may spray it maroon

      It would be easier to paint it, polished parts need easy access to keep them clean and looking bright. Finding good hi build primer and top coat is the hard part, I always used 2k paint, I like paint to set hard and be stable.

      Yes I think painting it is the way to go 👍

    If you search past copies of Engineering in miniature I wrote an article about how to machine a splined shaft for a Fowler a7 out of the solid.

    hi Julian, how did you mark the centre line down the length of the boiler ..was it a Vernier height gauge?

      Before the tube had any work done I had marked a centre line on the top Already, but to make sure it was still central I used a large engineers square each side and measured half of the boiler diameter which I found it to be true
