Hi. I’ve just bought one of these steam engines.

The build is going well until now. Maybe someone who has built one came across the same problem, or someone with better engineering knowledge than myself can help.

Building the valve gear assemblies, there are 2 small bushings that go into the offset links and the 2 hole links.

Should these bushings be a tight fit in the respective links, (which means the links move by pivoting on the screws) or are they loose enough to rotate in the respective links(which means the links move by pivoting on the actual bushing)

To my mind, it should be the latter scenario. but the bushings are a tight fit, and don’t want to move at all.

Hope someone can help, before 1) I get too far into the build, and have to unbuild the hole thing, or 2) I start the engine up and things go really, really pear shaped.

Thanks

Mick

Hello Michael

It`s normal engineering practice, for the bushes to be a tight fit in links and housings etc
