So having had the kits delivered since April, the Saturday just gone (27-10-12), I made a start and nearly finished one wheel.. before being "distracted" away from workshop jollity! Ive got one to tidy up and finish, and another to do the final assembly on. No photos as I didn't see the point untill they are done... Tyres will be stretched on at the same time as the rear wheels.. Bringing me seamlessly onto how much of the engine I actually own at the moment..
Complete front end,
Rear Wheels,
Hornplates,
..And Ive paid the deposit for my boiler..(The expensive bit!)
.. Not much but enough to keep me busy. Build time I hope to be around the 2 year mark, less if I can afford it!! So with not much more to say untill I finish atleast one wheel and get a photo, I'll sign off and leave you with a photo of the first engine I ever made, based loosley on "Simple Sam" by Stan Bray. Amazingly, it worked!! So thats it really for now... Keep on keeping on!
