On some motherboards use of a M2 ssd disables some of the Sata channels.

Back in the 1960's we used Daz.

Look up Avogardro's number.

What you need is cloning software. I use Acronis to back up all personal files and system. Changed from hard drive to M2 NVME SSD with no problems.

Just seen your drawing and noticed piston rod 3/32 in shorter than my drawing!

My drawing number is 90071. The base casting changed when the twin set up was introduced?

This gets more confusing as there are 2 editions of the book on building the Victoria with different dimensions. Also my drawings from the kit I bought in early 1980s quote 6 5/32 in centres; the drawing is dated 13/4/76.

Just watched Keith Appleton's video where he uses 6 5/32 inch centres for the con rod and says these dimensions are in an errata paper from Stuarts. Unfortunately he has not got to the assembly stage yet to check the fits.

Maybe nothing but from the photos the main bearing is not centralised on the pad. Seem to remember the bearing casting was changed at some time. How about contacting Keith Appleton as he has You Tube series on building this engine?

In the Victoria book the dimensions are as Jason quoted for the Princess Royal.

Steve Jordan did some YT videos on getting rid of the topslide and using a larger Aloris style QCTP.

DOH! I didn't scroll down far enough. Thanks.

How do you read the DVD's of archived material from Model Engineering Website? I can't see any html files in file explorer.

Just built my own computer. 3hrs work and works well. See Cary Holtzmann on Y tube for build examples.

The Prussian blue etching ink I got is manufactured by Cranfield and is oil based but washable with water. If you look at Tom Lipton's site on You tube he discusses the use of these type of spotting media.

I got my roller and water based colour from Amazon.

Why not lay it flat and use the lathe?

Go to Halfords and get a bottle of ISO32 jack hydraulic oil.

Arc Euro also sell ISO 32 and 68 oils in 1 Litre bottles.

Possibly David Bailey of Bracknell.

Graham Meek described some modifications in Engineering in Miniature March 2016
