General - lighting is far from ideal
Horsetan commented on Lough Erne's gallery image in Member Albums
I agree. Think you'd need to borrow those photgraphic floodlight things! -
That last / first photo (photo 16), in which you showed a broadside shot of the "Piston Valves and piston rod detail and gland assembly" - is it possible to get the camera in a bit closer to see how the PVs are actuated? I've enlarged the photo and highlighted the area in light blue to show you what I'm after.....

Weightshaft detail - note arm for mechanical lubricator
Horsetan commented on Lough Erne's gallery image in Member Albums
God only knows how I'm going to portray the lubricator drive rod! -
Driving axle showing 90 degree webs and eccentrics

This also confirms that the right-hand crank (on the left of the photo) leads the left-hand, i.e. a right-hand lead. -
Crosshead detail - note how shallow crosshead is and small distance between bars
Horsetan commented on Lough Erne's gallery image in Member Albums
Not a full cruciform shape. Tricky to make. -
Back end of slide bars, plus supports for eccentric rods / expansion links / dieblocks. -
Highly interesting - four-bar slidebars, but not a full cruciform crosshead. -
Interesting that this part appears unsupported. Other classes - particularly British mainline classes - tended to have brackets for these to slide in. -
Also weighshaft and balance weight. -
That's the motion bracket, supporting the slidebars. -
Hmm....triangular bevelled rims. That's something I hadn't been able to see clearly in other photos. -
I appear to be cursed with long life.

It just so happens that I have a Finney Pannier inside motion kit lying around....hmmmm....

Click "Albums" tab above. There's quite a few "Q" shots as well! Here ...and here Deadly!

Big end detail with bolts and cotter pin

Fantastic. Just what I need :banana: The Martin Finney inside cranks that I have are a near-match in shape for these, and crank throw might be fairly close as well. -
This is excellent. I think I can adapt the cranks and eccentrics from Martin Finney's T9 kit! -
Found 'em! Excellent run of photos. Think that pretty much confirms I can adapt one of Martin Finney's inside motion kits - the cranks and eccentrics appear similar in shape to those in the GW Pannier, and I could use some other bits from the LSWR T9.

Michael O'leary would find some way of making you pay in advance first.
-
Seconded.
-
The only place it could try now would be on the Victorian network, S.E. Australia. Don't know of any high-quality 5'3" lines anywhere else.

How about dynamic smoke?
-
That would take the wind out of Alan Doherty's sails / sales - he's had a "WT" at test etch stage for a while now.....
-
Something for steam?

Apparently you can convert the SSM "V" kit into a VS..... "Boyne": the one that got away....
