Exhaust ing

Much time off, couldn't miss any of the Olympics and much rain stopping play since. However the exhaust has been fitted and connected with the Bowman, and she was heard running again. Less exhaust smoke thank goodness but very much noise !!!!!

Oh what fun eh!









Of course once its all in place its all coming out again for cleaning and painting.

Many thanks to Steve at Stationary Engine Parts for all the advice and supplies.. Original colour engine paint Light Brunswick Green, new exhaust gaskets arrived in the post today along with some other bits I am totally unable to describe !!!!!  just to say they are part of the connecting engine to gearbox bit. Will need to use the better camera for small parts .........

Next thing is to make a mock up for a custom made fuel tank that will fit neatly down one side under the back deck with about 30 gallons capacity. Was thrilled to be able to use a spreadsheet to find optimal size and shape Ha Ha I always did enjoy a good spreadsheet ........
