Mick,
What a beautiful rebuild, your craftsmanship, not only with wood , is an inspiration.
Look forward to seeing the steam plant installed.

The plant is going in a Krick Alexandria which I am currently rebuilding purchased over 3 years ago from a MBM member described as Museum quality, its that Museum with no windows or lights, I was going to give it a Vikings funeral but decided to rebuild it as the kits cost over £200.00. When finished I will it sell to recoup my costs.

Mick

Yes KNO3 it is, I would think most of 20 current curiosity watchers are from this forum.

Part 2
The port drilling measurements are critical, a good centre punch is essential I use a 3/32 drill first to make sure they are correct before drilling to 5/32”. The reversing valve is machined from gunmetal.
The cylinders were machined from 25mm dia brass, top & bottom cylinder covers and cross heads from phosphor bronze, piston rods stainless steel.
