Update  12^th August 2009

I am sorry about not writing about how my engine is coming along.

The reason for that is I have working on a "Mamod scale" organ for a competition to do with the Steam Apprentice Club . I have to make this organ in time to be judged at Dorset steam fair so after that my time will be dedicated onto the engine and getting on with cleaning all of the pieces and getting them ready to go back together. I entered the organ to Dorset and won first prize which was an honour due to the high standard of entrys.

I would also like to thank everyone who have given me great support at Torbay rally and also Powderham show with my project.

Update 18th August 2009

As you can see I have spent all day today cleaning and taking paint off lots of parts. As I've been cleaning I have been evaluating each part to see if it needs repairs / replacing or just cleaning and painting. I have the wheels and tender back today after being sandblasted (Thanks to Rob Yelland).

I plan to do more work during this week and also leading to Dorset.

Talking to our friends John and Steve at Bridport Foundry on our stand at the Dorset steam fair, they have agreed to help me with sponsorship for some of castings for my engine, I would like to thank them very much for this.

Further updates on my progress will be posted onto the web site soon
