Some pics from today.
I made the whistle valve lever and machined up some 10BA pins and nuts for the valve as nothing off the shelf looked the way it is on the fullsize. The valve spindle was made also.
To hold the lever in the milling vise to drill the holes I didn't have packing of the correct dimension for underneath it. So I super glued a piece of scrap across the top and it brought the job to the top of the vise nice and level.
I haven't got a pic of the assembled valve, I shall do that next update hopefully!
Happy steaming!
Nigel
