Hope you don't mind me adding a supplementary question, it is related.

My understanding is that slide valves operating in this way fulfill an important supplementary function. Any condensed water in the (double acting) cyclinder will be forced out by the piston and is able to 'push back' against the valve face and lift it to escape. Which is why some designs e.g. Metro have no cyclinder drain cocks.

Correct?

Reading the thread I find that I am at a similar point to Vincent. First model (well second if you count being 1/3 of a consortium that part built a Springbok in 1975), 5" gauge decided, tank engine so no tender to build decided. My answer to me is Metro - 6 wheels for stability but only 4 to connect up with rods, reasonable weight for one person to carry, reasonable size boiler and firebox, open backed cab so easy access to fire and controls, inside cylinders to hide some of my novice machining skills. What could possibly go wrong?

Well, that's what I'd like to know.. Good first model?
