I had a parcel waiting for me when I got home today.
It was the original castings and some of the castings from Xchainsaw.
SO I refitted the wheels to the roller, put the boiler on, made some new gaskets. Filled it up and gave it a test run.

Here is the video. Unfortunately I filmed it with my digital camera not my video camera and the whistle is too high pitched for my digital camera to hear at all. I'll have to do another video later on with my digital camera. But here is the video showing its all running well, even if you can't hear the whistle.

and a still photo showing the engine running and the whistle blasting away and the large pulley casting just resting in place.

It doesn't look like much but its taken me a few days to do this.

Saturday and Sunday a number of trips out to the workshop was made to file, then etch prime, prime and then 2 coats of red to get me to here.

Then thirty minutes last night and an hour tonight to get this far.

Still a fair bit more to do before this pulley is finished.

I'm quite happy so far and I like the smooth machined surface against the rough cast parts, makes it look just like the original ones.
