Workshop latest

January 2008.

This month the good news is that things are starting to move on the cylinder block front. The patterns have been with the foundry since April 2007. Not a problem though, as its hardly something i need at the moment, but regular casting keeps the cost down so i like to do at least one major pour every year.

This tends to coincide with the latest pattern i have commissioned, in 2007 that was the cylinder block. This year its the tender truck but that's for another time. On this visit i also picked up 4 lost wax cast iron castings of the cross head guide cover.

I had these castings done using thermojet printing which is described in the frame bracket section
