WORKING ON A SIMPLEX STEAM LOCOMOTIVE - PART #31 @keithappleton

Working On A Simplex Steam Locomotive - Part #31. Making new pins for the Crossheads to replace the worn ones. I am using Silver Steel because it is accurately ground. It also wears very well and can even be hardened. Once machined and threaded 2BA, the parts were bolted to the Crosshead Covers. I fitted the Return Cranks and tested the engine using Compressed Air. patreon.com/keithappleton
