my 2" burrell

Thanks Mike but I mess up so many times the paint must be a few inch thick now haha

as the site seems a little quiet here is a update so far . not much has been done on the engine as I am just waiting for more kits. here though I have the block painted and on the boiler and also the smoke box is finally attached. one last thing , HAPPY EASTER ALL !

Your paintwork is faultless mate it looks beautiful.

I'm slightly behind on my OU studies at the minute so any spare time is going on that so not much progress for me.

I have been sent new eccentrics for my crank as they are made of wrong material apparently so I'm going to have to dismantle it which is a pain. I think I might be sub consciously putting it off ha ha.

thank you Jim , there is better painters out there than me though haha
Shame that about the parts problem but your engine looks great, I cant wait to get to your stage in the build!!!
Hope the OU studies are going well by the way !

Hi all , after a few centuries since my last post here is a quick update of where I am.

Engine looking beautiful, wish my paintwork was as good. You must have a steady hand with your lining being so good.
I'm hoping to get my boiler soon, be great to start putting the parts together.

Keep up the good work.

Charlie

Thank you Charlie. I am really enjoying the build and cant wait for it to be in steam ! Hope your enjoying your build too and the boiler is defiantly the best kit to date !

Hi all, sorry for the lack of photos lately but not much advancement has been seen on the engine due to the sudden want to buy a classic land rover. hopefully I will have pictures soon.

Land Rovers will do that to you. I have a 1970 2A, a 1995 Discovery V8 and an 2002 Freelander V6

if only I was allowed that many land rovers !!! , and its a 1969 2a that I have !!

1970 2a 109, 1972 3 109, and a 1983 3 88".....just spent the last week and a bit doing a complete engine rebuild on the '72, haven't been in the workshop for a fortnight.....

So , after 4 million years i have got round to an update haha. A few pictures of trial fitting the diff kit .

Well , i got the diff painted and fitted...... then i see that the first gear , and pinion carrier run true but the second gear is off center. Apart it comes , then snap , bye bye bolt hhahah. Anyway i found the second ring gear needed a bit of filing to get it to sit central.

Yay diff kit done !!!! hehe

testing the gear wheels prior to painting and fitting
