Thanks Gavin,
The Stuart Turner instructions are a bit sketchy but I should be able to work it out. Mind you the video you posted has made me think about checking the steam ports in the cylinders for casting sand !
As all the machining is already done it's really just a case of polish, paint and assemble....oh and get the timing correct.
Rather than needing inspiration I really just need time to do the assembly.
