Re: Haworth valve setting and Johnson Bar
I think Pontiacguy1 hit the nail on the head here. The Wendy I'm building has hard rubber in the journal boxes on the rear axle to stop movement. The key to this hobby should be to have some fun and enjoy what you have built. There is nothing wrong with rivet counting if that's your thing but. I hav...

Re: Mystery Part?
Take the bottom plug off, there is a screw/bolt up inside that comes out, it is under it.

Re: Mystery Part?
Do you have a injector on the loco and does it work ? It looks like the washer out of an injector and the cup side goes up.

Re: MEG steam Wendy Reconstuction
Hello Wendy fans: I have not been able to get much done on the Wendy lately, just not much time, as they say, life just gets in the way. I did get the axles machined and had the tread put on the wheels, but that's about it. I hope to finish the wheels next and get a rolling chassis. But for now, Mer...

Re: MEG steam Wendy Reconstuction

I did get the journal boxes finish and installed the bearings. I am now going to finish the suspension and get the axles and wheels...

Re: MEG steam Wendy Reconstuction
Hello Wendy fans, I have taken a break from the cylinders and went back to the frame; I had a warp or bend that I could not get out. It was in the center crossmember area, it was pulling the sides out of wake. I took it out and had it in the press several times trying to fix it, but it never resolve...

Re: MEG steam Wendy Reconstuction
I think all run them threw my bead blaster to get the junk off the outside, then chuck them in the lathe and bore the hole to size, If the valve surfaces clean up nice i might consider having them ground and using that face instead of a plate, but i still like the plate idea. Time will tell.
