Part 47: O Rings, Pivot Pins and Oversized Holes

Welcome to Part 47 of my long term series of videos covering the build of Don Young's Hunslet 0-6-0 Saddle Tank Locomotive in 5" Gauge.
In this video, I modify the Valve Spindle design so that they will take an O Rings rather than Graphite Packing, make a decision on how to secure the Valve Gear Pivot Pins, Assemble the valve gear on the left side and along the wayshrink a couple of oversized holes.
Given the nature of these sorts of projects, new videos will be posted as I progress through the build but there will be no regular cadence, rather their frequency will be dependent upon time available and of course real progress on my part.
If you like what you see, please do give me a thumbs up and subscribe.
Enjoy!

The die block bushes looked huge when you were turning them, then you put them in your hand….. and the true size was revealed! Tiny! 😮. Amazing stuff. All the best, Matt

Nice one Mark she is coming on nicely, I like the hole recovery operation, a reminder we need to read the drawings twice and cut / drill / mill once

[@markshomeengineering5243]

Your principle is of course correct, but checking the drawings would not have helped - this was due to two different approaches to converting from Imperial to Metric. It'll happen again before I'm finished :-)

I am doing the same with an lsbc dyak so having to ripple check,

Looking great!

Thanks Roel :-)

Nearly ready for an air test, looking forward to seeing that! Out of curiosity, do you have a boiler for it when it’s ready?

[@markshomeengineering5243]

Hi Tom, I'm getting there, but a few more parts to make and an issue to deal with yet. Cheers Mark

[@markshomeengineering5243]

And sorry, no I don't have a boiler for it. Making that will be a whole new learning experience 😁
