This is a continuation of the log in the "old" mylargescale:

As a reminder:
I am trying to build Betsy from Madera Sugarpine:

Image exceeds 640 pixel max. width - converted to link. Mod.
Progress so far:
Valve gear with home made eccentrics is ready and the chassis has been run successfully on air.
Next tasks are machining a new reversing valve (the Accucraft valve is too bulky) Mamod style, replacing some of the friction bearings with ball bearings and attaching the boiler. The first steam test should be 1-2months away.
Regards
