I stripped my shaper down and measured all the parts involved , worked out a scale which I think was 1/5 and got to work. The model was made without using any castings a was made mainly from pieces of 1/8 “ plate welded together and scrap metal machined up to suit.67699aa7-969a-4509-8df3-fadfd8b0d281.jpeg

Very nice, how did you machine the 'T' slots? The traction engine looks good too, Can you give us the details?

I milled a ordinary slot first and the used an end mill that I necked with a Dremel grinder to only cut on the end and give the tee shape.

The engine is my Durham and North Yorkshire in 2 inch scale and is a work in progress

Fine work! Thank you for showing us.

I must admit I'd not thought to make a T-slot cutter in that way, but come to think of it, I'm pretty sure there's one among my cutters-from-goodness-knows-where.

We look forwards to progress on the engine.
