Wow!

That is going to be one heck of a beast.

Hope he has a low-loader in his driveway

Those castings look nice, but hope that the 'white' where the've been foetrled is just reflection.

You are lucky to find a foundry prepared to do 'small' one offs.

Are you using SAR drawings?

Do please post photos as this project progresses.

If I was younger, I'd be twisting someone's arm for a set of castings!

Wish you both well with this build.

Geoff – Planning for tomorrow's stint in the workshop.

foetrled – what the heck is that?

Geoff – Finger problem & not spell checking

And here was me thinking that foetried is Afrikaans for fettled

I was just about to dig out my ancient "Kritzinger Tweetalige Woordeboek" (bilingual dictionary) to confirm when your correction came through.

Yes the white bits are the results of fettling the witnesses from the cores.

We are working from the original drawings which are still available. The drawings appear to have been done in the USA but the engines were built by the North British Locomotive Company in Glasgow.

This particular component is the front part (sill) of the tender.

I am fortunate in having a good small foundry in my locality, so if you are ever stuck for a casting give me a bell.

Clive,

Night owl I see

Jy praat die taal?

It threw me when I noticed it as well.

I'm in South Norfolk.

Ennech,

Thanks for the offer.

I got a set of drawings for the 15F direct from SAR Pretoria, but only got as far as doing the drawing for the bar frames.

Takes a bit seeing the trees for the wood on those drawings though, so much detail.

Geoff – Coffee then workshop. No more sunshine

Have a look at Jim's website.

www.northernsteam.com

Very interesting and informative.

John.

[EnnechParticipant @ennech]

Jim has just updated his website to include the tender and brakes.

[EnnechParticipant @ennech]

This is the pattern to cast the brake blocks. It has been designed to cater for the future use of wheels to suit the 7.5" gauge. All the machining operations for 4 blocks can be completed before the blocks are separated.
