I completed the cylinders and installed them on the frame , timed one at a time and test run on air , all seems OK , now I have to install boiler , tank and cab , make and fit pipes .

Fantastic work Shawki and what an interesting prototype. Hope to see it running perhaps at next year's Hot Pot Run?
Cheers Jim

I'll second that, it's a great little locomotive.

I have completed the Crab and is waiting for steam test , it may have to wait for S. Simplex to be done first , that is me very lazy .

That looks great Shawki, will you be able to take a video when it's running?

Shawki, I don't have the slightest doubt that it will run very nicely!

Crikey Shawki you don't hang about do you? Here you are with the loco completed while I'm still fiddling about with the cab roof. Having said that it looks fantastic and as Roger says, fascinating to see it run too.
Great workmanship Shawki.
Jim.

Thanks all , I actually has two engines now waiting for steam test , in the past I would steam test the engine on the first running day but now it takes months if not more to get around it . Time will tell .
