Chaps, for those interested, and those who have already requested assistance with new crosshead bolts, here is the drawing and flanged bolt design Taperpin has come up with to replace any rivet failures at the crossheads.

In other news, my NCNG 4-4-0 arrived today!! I finally get to see one for real and I'm not disappointed. The Lake colour is perfect, Russia Iron colour terrific and decoration really sensational..not one line missing! Its a really nice looking loco, hope to run it soon, after I change the crosshead bolts.
