There you go Vince, not fixed in place yet but looks fine to me

They look good Phil. Next, to mate them to the exhaust/smoke box.

I should be able to elongate the exhaust twin couplers file that you caded for me, that sure is a useful function in Cura.

Hi Phil, that's a great idea. Just note that you would never have seen an engine in that state in the field. The whole concept of the L60 was that it came as a power pack with rads and ancillaries attached, so that the complete assembly could be exchanged as quickly as possible by the REME Forward Repair Team. The only time a bare block could be seen would be in 23 Base Workshops where packs were reconditioned or in the supply chain in UK.

Stephen
I think Phil was showing that stripped down engine to lure me in.
Not falling for that.

You mean you're not going to do the rockers and crankshaft

What a brilliant idea. I have the plans of engines I built some years ago. I can model those. That should keep me out of trouble for a while.

You have read my mind Adrian as I would love to give the engine an interior and I'm sure Vince would just love to cad that!

Hi Phil,
today the bolts have arrived,
I'll send them to you tomorrow. Sono 102 (engine block + front)
Thank Ivano

That's great, please add a few spare if you can!

Really nice Phil. I had to do a double take with some of those photos as I wasn't sure if you were showing the model or the real thing.

Big thumbs up.

Thanks Vince there's still a long way to go, it's still to tight in there as this is the first time I've fitted all the sub units but will be worth the effort to get it just so. Thanks for all your patience and skill cading those difficult parts that I keep asking for, it's not over yet as there's bound to be more little bits and pieces I need.

Ciao!

Thanks Ivano, I've been getting through the annoying jobs like moving the filler cap, made the concertina exhaust extensions by adjusting the stl file to suit the gap, useful that.
