3" Burrell Traction Engine build.

  Happy Birthday To Me Again ! Already February and 2 year 4 months since the start of the build!!. Both the rear wheels are complete!.   < Left  The spokes have been hand painted with corrosion-resistant red oxide paint, to prevent finger marks rusting up. The differential parts have been started apart from the teeth a job I feel I might not be able to do on my machines, but looking to out source these. The ones available from Bridport Foundry at £250 are a last resort owing to the cost, and I already have the cheaper differential blank castings.  Also looking into replacing all the M3 bolts for dome head Allen key bolts for a better rivet look finish.  > Right finished bevel gear minus the teeth mounted on wheel ready for a decision on how to cut the teeth. Just removed some surface rust from the diff and checks to see if it might fit on the faceplate and even on the 10 inch lathe. Next few weeks a number of small jobs to do, and by way of getting back into the swing of things
