20 forum posts	Hows your build going Doubletop ? Ive only just started on building this so dont have any build photos as yet (still getting the bits together) but the one thing i did decide to do before making any cuts was to convert the drawing into CAD so i could double check the dimensions (plus convert to metric) and although everything so far seems to be correct Fig 6 on the drawing (pump stay) does not line up as close with the overlay drawing as all of the other parts so just got to double check it. oh and im also only just learning to use CAD so its taking time to get my head around it lol Also Ive decided to keep the firebox support holes at 1/4" which appears to be the correct position on the drawing (but wrongly specified by the 3/16" dimension) rather than use the correction on page 266 Aug/2009 edition. As has been mentioned in earlier posts it would have been nice to see other builds in progress but sadly there does not seem to be any about I too decided £40 was a little expensive for the drawings given that this is my first real model from scratch.

439 forum posts 4 photos	Norm Apologies for not replying to this but 4 months on, plenty of progress for both of us. The answer to my question "were all the drawing errors noted in subsequent issues?", is "No". For those wanting more details of errors go to the dedicated Northumbrian topic here http://www.model-engineer.co.uk/forums/threads.asp?t=160 BTW- it is possible to build this without the drawings, I think between the various contributors we've found most of the problems. At least Norm and myself are coping well enough without the drawings. Pete Edited By Doubletop on 26/01/2012 09:04:06
