Thread: Boxhill by Martin Evans |

Yes, the correction occurred in the very first paragraph of the next issue after instructions for machining the wheels, October 1st 1963. This must have been very frustrating for anyone who had already finished the wheels, after setting up on a face plate or in a chuck with the chunky balance weight of the Reeves castings sticking out. I did tell Reeves about this many years ago but no action was taken. I suppose the plans would have to be updated before they could change their patterns.

The drawings for Boxhill in "The Best of Model Engineer" are a copy of the original drawings published in the Model Engineer. Martin Evans made a correction in a later article on the construction. This was that the balance weights should be finished flush with the tyres. Apart from being true to the prototype this simplifies the turning of the wheels.
Unfortunately the drawings were never been corrected. |
