No. 2524 – Webb's prototype 0-8-0 coal engine

These are the cylinder and valve front covers. Lots of nuts and bolts to hold them in place and steam tight. In days gone by, I drilled holes and used dummy fittings, or even real nuts and bolts, to simulate them. Now with CNC I can do each one complete with their fixings.

This is a valve cover straight off the machine in close up and much bigger than life size to show the definition obtainable. I was pleased how well that worked out.
