After publishing an update yesterday I thought this very important move forward deserved its own page! The valve connecting rods, along with the radius links were put into the frame on the 30th January and is the first part of the motion that will make No 9 a living, breathing engine. A lot more connecting to do but a big step in her restoration. Also a photo of the cottar pins securing the slide bars, each one a different size. Well done Alan!
