This shows the firebox sides. I embossed rivets on them, the glare in the photo makes them hard to see.
I made filler peices to simulate the backs of the cylinder supports and filed them to shepe after gluing them in place.
This is the second attempt at some of the valve gear parts. The arms were fabricated on a jig, soldered then thined by rubbing them on a file.
Here's the third attempt at the valve gear.
I formed the parts with .010" copper wire then pressed them between two steel plates. The ecentric rods and reverse link were soldered together and the rest of the parts were glued in place.
I'm having a hard time getting a good photo, here's what I've got so far.
