5 Inch Gauge 9F Bench run after some repair work to the Die blocks

A bench run of my Ex Winson kit 9F after replacing the Die blocks. The engine had some issues around the timing of the valves, this had been diagnosed as a number of issues and some are to be rectified during the winter 2024. However I had noticed from the initial runs that the Die Blocks where a rattle fit and so I fabricated and replaced them using some stainless steel instead of the original Brass versions. Seems to be alot smotther runnning and will tick over much easier.
