I have started this thread to include the occasional jobs that I do which are loco related but not full builds. Starting of with some steps that I made yesterday for a 7mm Scale DH/Piercy Models J27 A fellow modeller had bought a second hand kit for the J27 and it came without any parts for the steps so he asked me if I could makes some for him. My guillotine and some offcuts of brass sheet made fairly short work of making them. In fact the longest time came from working out how big the parts needed to be. Although I had been provided with a section from a drawing it had been photographed rather than scanned so it wasn't square on enough to be certain that measurements could be scaled exactly from it. What it did allow was confirmation that taking sizes from the steps in an NER J21 kit was as near as I was going to get.
This afternoon saw me making another part for a future project in between waiting for Milliput to dry. This time more lathe work and a little more complex than I have attempted before. This is a brake cylinder for an LMS 4000 gallon tender. I will eventually start a new thread for this build but it can sit here for now.
