Reasons

Due to reasons

I will likely not have much progress on this project until the middle of September.  
I am getting close to the end of the summer semester at school and need to focus on that for a little while.

a wee bit of Split Happiness

i found a rare treasure on ebay. it is a split #40 chain sprocket with a 3/4 inch bore. With this I can directly and easily install the sprocket without needing to remove the entire RUSTED axle.  
Just a little bit of happiness today.



The down side was that the postal service lost it for nearly a week.

Buggy and Horse

For the first time I placed the steam engine on the car frame,

After a couple moments of appreciating it, I realised how much work is left to be done.



The car frame is upside down for now whilst I get some rusted bits removed or fixed.

forward and reverse manifolds done

finished the forward and reverse manifolds, next will be the reversing valve.
