Thanks Expeatfarmer (and Alan). Glad to say the Wheels are finished . Lots of time spent shaping the Hubs to represent castings like the originals.
Glad I made a few riveting tools many years ago. Shown here is one I made especially to suit the Traction Engine Wheels with tight spaces to get into.
Worked a treat on 1/16" dia copper rivets-
Even more detail with the Oiler Tubes with screw on caps-
Barely a perceptible wobble in these, but will ream the bores again to run perfectly true.
Back to working on the Tank and fittings. An example of pics I use as reference (courtesy of a T/engine Forum user)-
Helps me with scale and detail. I'm making the outlet valve and lever exactly the same as an original, so hope works ok.
