Small Boiler

[editor@glue-it.com]

This originally started as a discussion around the boiler and I'll come back to that soon, In the meantime I'm gradually picking off the parts to make:

The rear wheel rims were machined from 4 inch diameter mild steel stock, I roughed out the size and then switched to a 4-jaw chuck and DTI

These then got machined with the inner beads and finished 97mm overall diameter

the treads were machined on the milling machine, this took some time to setup the 10° angle, align the wheel with a DTI in the chuck again and centre the milling bit

I'm pleased with the result, more details of the setup and discussion, drop me a line if you want to know more, best regards, Nige
