Perfection, a shame to paint it!
Couldn't agree with you more Tom, spot on Dazza!
Looking forward to whatever is next,
Best,
Tom

More top quality work Dazza. The Turnado system I understand to be using hand held tools which I know more as Graving. The people I know who use Graving are the 2mm finescale workers where they are making very fine cuts most of the time.

When you say 1.6mm dia rivet, do you mean stem dia or head dia?
Impressive, regardless of which

Looking forward to you starting your 5" gauge loco given the standards you set yourself.

A superb piece of turning work, you should be very pleased with yourself Dazza.
One thing puzzles me, what is the purpose (if any) of the O ring on the parent stock?

Thanks and I was wondering if some one would notice and ask.
It works like a little dam wall , it stops the coolant flowing towards the chuck and then being flung off. Keeps me and the surrounds a wee bit more "coolant free"
I lay claim that I conceived the idea all on my own.
The Turnado tool is used dry

These are the tender wheels. The Loco has is drivers, it all goes around on air, boiler in the frames etc, but the trialing pony wheel set is yet to be done.

I think you mentioned a while back you will be installing a SSP Slomo in the tender?
Terry recommends using ball bearings on the axles of wagons or tenders fitted with a Slomo, info below:

He is a top bloke, I have been very happy with the units I have purchased from him.
