Thanks for the info. I realise Crackers cylinder is a bit small and was meaning to make the cylinder like Cracker but with Ellies dimensions as I like the way Crackers big end also drags the cylinder around and helps reduce wear n tear, The name of the gentleman who came up with the idea escapes me at the moment and its featured in Stationary Steam. I tend to use KS tube for cylinders and not had a problem
Iv not read through just browsed the book at the moment so may have been asking the obvious.
The gears wont be a problem to make unless they are very cheap then I may open my sporran
Iv a few other builds to finish but cannot seem to get this simple little thing out of my mind so no doubt a start will be made sooner rather than later
I will do a separate post to save this one been taken of track any further
Good luck to all Ellie builders she seems to have caused a bit of interest and I notice Camden have already sold out of precut parts for now
kind regards
