Good Morning !!!
The vacation was a real pleassure and I returned relaxed and full of power
Meanwhile I've spend approx. 20 more hours on the steam engine. The cross heads and connection rods are installed now. Next I've to finish the valve gear.
While the steam engine was disassembled for some work, I decided to paint them. I also run the crank shaft with a drilling maschine to get her run smoothly.
