Re-Visiting My Stuart Victoria

[Steve WithnellParticipant @stevewithnell34426]

Re-visiting the build of my Victoria,  this is a video clip of a trial run – the governor isn’t yet hooked up to the steam valve.    Before I built the Victoria, I built the Nemett 15 and used the carburettor design from that engine to construct a steam valve for the Victoria.

John Stevenson pointed me in the direction of how to machine a good clean bore and how to make your own bevel gears.   I still need to make the railings to finish off the model.    May be it’s getting time to do that.

I did blog the build end to end and discovered it’s all still there from 2009…

Maybe there is something in all of that twittering on that’s useful to somebody…
