... About 16.30 heading towards BHP show on bank holiday Monday. Looked very nice!

Wish mine was back running, still got a few things to do. Still, I owe you a couple of spotteds!

Just awaiting UJ's and prop from BCB in Dover. Exhaust flexi welded and waiting to go on. I have to do engine mounts yet, but want to give part of the chassis a quick coat whilst prop shaft is off, so awaiting paint. Once done, MOT, tax, driver and probably Megasquirt to sort out the shunting. I may get the POR20 blasted off the manifolds too...

Goes past the back of my house, its a great sound (and smell). I can really see why the steam trains were so popular.

Would there be any chance you firing up your Bridgeport, perhaps helping me to bore my plenum to 72mm? I've looked for a 72mm plenum on the net, but can't find one anywhere!

As for the paint, I have the degreaser and paint arriving this week... online stuff is cheap, but very slow!

I don't know. I thought they were bored, but could be wrong. I'll post it on the Chim forum! Mind you, there's a good opportunity for you make a side line in bigger plenums with that machine!

I have a spare standard plenum in the garage in you want to have a go with that? Spend posted a reply to my question on the Chim forum, which may make more sense to you!
