Hi Col,
I don't really envisage doing any of this, It was a question on how it would be done.
Looking at Station road steam for example, there are many projects at various stages and I wondered how wheels etc were done. I bought a little lathe a couple of years ago from Bauhaus in a sale, it was 25% of the present price. I didn't have a bench or anywhere to put so it stayed on top of a cupboard. Last week I made a bench out of some 8cm thick wood and maybe next week I'll strip it and follow the
setting up instructions that are on the web for this series of lathes. I've got some bits of an unfinished stationary steam engine so I may start there or else with some
Anode connectors for 813s and 833s.
Thanks for the advice and info, when I decide to make the flywheel for the above I think I'll make the centre solid with large circular holes, ie no spokes as such.
