kno3, I liked your modification to the cylinder base so much that I did something similar to mine.
I have the BB version & will post more pictures this weekend.

Yours looks great with the domed hrads.
What will you be putting this engine in?

Thanks Kmot & Reg,
I don't know yet what I will use the engine for. I the collecting bug has bitten me and now I have quite a few engines and just one boat! 
Actually I might not use it any time soon because I want to make a small boat, so I will have to use one of the smaller engines.

Another update:

I have added new steam chest covers. I have discussed the design with a friend and he cut it with his cnc machine.

     Looks most excellent!   Now change out those screws on the linkage & file the exposed ones flush to the V link........unless you are getting them made up in brass.

All,

Great thread!  I'm two hours into building my TVR1A.  Assembly has been greatly aided by the photos.  Please place me on the waiting list for custom covers if  any of you go into production.

Just completed my TVR1A and found this thread a big help.  It runs OK, but is more reluctant to start in reverse, so I think I'll have to revisit the timing and see if I can improve that.  I, too, would be interested in both cylinder and valve chest covers if anyone's going to produce them for sale.
