Work to date is to a good  standard, much of the work was contracted out for CNC machining a local  engineering company. There's enough bits here to get to an air-running chassis  with little further expenditure other than time - the builder estimated he was a  month away from having it running.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e    \u003cli\u003e      \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eErected frames with wheelsets, axleboxes, horns, spring      hangers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e    \u003cli\u003e      \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eSmokebox front and back rings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e    \u003cli\u003e      \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eMachined cylinders, pistons with Clupet rings fitted\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e    \u003cli\u003e      \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eMachined crossheads\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e    \u003cli\u003e      \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eValve eccentric straps and sheaves machined\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e    \u003cli\u003e      \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eConnecting and coupling rods machined from gauge plate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e    \u003cli\u003e      \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eSteam brake cylinder machined and fitted\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   Complete with a set of Mr Brown's peerless drawings, the great man still  supplies parts and castings (as well as much useful advice, I hazard to guess).  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   My own small part in the \"Anna\" story is being the boiler inspector  for the first engine built - Derek's own - with stage inspections, hydraulic and  steam tests in their turn.
