Well, some progress to report today - called Walsall prior to going to work and ordered the wheelsets, and cylinder, chimney castings. Had a minor panic when asked about the crank throw... Malcolm helped me out - 7/16" is the magic number apparently!
I was out yesterday, but on arriving back at the office today I was pleased to find that my blowtorch and silver solder/flux had been delivered whilst I was out. I had picked up some wire wool (for cleaning) and butane from B&Q at the weekend so nothing standing in the way of frame assembly now except finding some free time! The main frames are currently slotted together and held with a couple of 1/4" bolts (see pic).
