I knew you'd do it MM. 
Great job.
Only one thing. Did you run out of back to black??
Would make all the difference. 
Just think what you'd have needed to pay to buy it in that condition. 
Can't wait to see it run.

I lost it, but i think I know where it is, will use it tomorrow, what would you pay for it in that condition? I'm very happy with the results and might give it a steam tomorrow

I went over £100 on one and it was a wreak compared with yours.

Check the cog is meshing properly MM. It may be driving then missing a couple of teeth then driving again.
I've run into this and fixed it by simply moving the large cog along the shaft till it ran smoothly.It does not take much.
Might help.

| The counter shaft pinion and gear wheel should mesh smoothly and relatively silently - if lubricated. |
