I had to be relatively spot on to get the pipes and oil pump in the exact location.

Just as well for me that most of the surfaces were flat and not too many curves like the bottom of the trans.

And a general put together to make sure everything lines up.

It does all sit together very well but that does not mean the whole thing won't vibrate like mad when running. I am only guessing that it should run like the original parts as the crank shaft is bolted to the crank case and there are no bearings connected to the parts I have made so I am crossing my fingers that all will be well. Anyway that's about it for the engine parts I needed to make and I can get on with the internals as I only have just over a week left before we go on holidays.

I must be sure to go to the cinema this weekend. I am sure there will be a Pathe News clip about the Meadows tank engine back in production!
