| Lyd is a rolling chassis with the boiler and tanks stacked on it for
somewhere to put them. It has its coupling and connecting rods on it.
The majority of the other parts are made. |
 |
| These are the weighshaft bearings which go just inboard of the
radius links. |
  |
| These are the rear bearings for the valve tail rod and they mount on
the top of the top slide bar. As you can see from the base they actually
slip over it to locate them |
| Most of the valve gear is made |
 |
 |
| Above is a valve rod. The new pictures revealed it had the forked
end but the set down at the left hand end is hidden by the motion
bracket and the protector plate in all the pictures |
  |
| This bit is the vibrating link that fastens to the hole half way up
the conn rod |
 |
 |
| The bit above is the radius rod, recently discovered to be forked
and the vibrating link. |
 |
 |
| The final bit i could find last week was the return crank rod |
| |
| What isn't made yet is the radius link. It seems likely that back
when they were making them all the time they had a special machine for
machining the slots. Now it looks like it will have to be made as a two
part bolted structure. The patterns are at the foundry now. |

We
could only find two copies of the drawing on A4 last week. They are
scanned here but then thumbnailed as they are big files. I've left them
at high resolution as they are quiet detailed. |
