Slide valves refitted

Slide valves refitted

20th January 2011
Below: Following on from the earlier report on Coffee Pot, here is a shot of one of the new slide valves in position. Stuart will carry out the final adjustments and setting with the engine in steam (tomorrow). Dave Young is completing the damper as I write this, as well as ploughing on in impressive style with the patterns for Lewin – the substantial sandbox castings pattern being the latest product from his workshop.
