Stuart No 4 Steam Engine

Had just made some bushings for a small backhoe from 660 bronze, seamed like piston ring material. Turned the ID and Od the parted off 1/8th wide by .05 thick rings. When I went to split them didn't they close, don't think I've ever cut a ring where it didn't spring open. Managed to use the vice jaws to gently spring them out.

Need to mount the bearing that holds the valve linkage but a clamp and some playing with the valve timing has it purring away.

Need lots of scale nuts now and flanges and valves.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
