Motion madness strikes again. This week, having cut some rods from solid sheet, and being less than happy with the results, I treated myself to some nickel silver strip from Eileen’s Emporium (very fast turnaround…) and, this afternoon, after battling with the paving slabs in the back garden, I’ve knocked up a couple of combination levers for the Y4 Walschaerts valve gear. Drilled 0.45 mm in three places, to take nickel silver pins. Dimensions taken from the GERS drawings. I made up a couple of union links earlier this week, too. Here’s the beginnings of the knitting having a test fitting.
Cheers
Jan
