Finally have been able to get a blog app that seems to work on my new phone!
For the Pansy I have fitted some boiler securing grubscrews to the smokebox. And also made a short series blowdown valve which has a grubscrew in the valve. Makes much more clearance behind the side rod so that the valve can't unscrew and foul the
rod.
In looking at all the fittings and different suppliers I have come to find it is8 very difficult to cross reference across suppliers and find the standards and dimensions that the parts may be made to. So I have fortunately been able to find some old Model Engineer articles and LBSCs and Martin Evan's write ups. Plus all the goodies that come up on various forums.
My intention is to make some close scale fittings for the cab where we have that luxury.
Happy steaming!
