| 3D Model Update |

With thanks to Will, our 3D model continues to develop. Will is currently working on the cylinder covers and you can see the front cylinder cover has been added. The holes at the bottom are for the bolt on type of cylinder relief valve. This valve is to prevent damage should the pressure in the cylinder get too high. The valve will be set to 25psi above boiler pressure. |

| Dragbox - Fabrication Complete (2) |

This is the front of the dragbox. The drawbar passes through the hole in the centre and the drawbar spring bears on the central plate. We were concerned about the loadings on the front plate which Finite Element Analysis showed were on the high side. Therefore we added 4 strengthening plates to the rear of the front plate, 2 at the top and 2 at the bottom. |
