Note that the valve gear is modelled "in gear" with motion imparted to the valve spindle by both the crosshead/comination lever and by the return crank/expansion link/radius rod. Look out around the front valve-chest extension for the movement of the cosmetically modelled outer parts of the 2:1 lever linkage to the middle cylinder's valves.
Hi there I have today in fact discovered your thread and instantly become hooked and especially love your LNER "mountain" and am thinking of attempting one my self and was wondering if you could give me any hints or tips
Thanks a lot
