Engine drive mechanism.
Scenery.
Just two again this week.
Geoff completed the idler wheel, to which an O ring had been fitted. He then made up a yoke to house the idler, together with a frame for the swinging arm. These had to be arranged to find the best way of mounting them under the engine. Once agreed, the plywood base was cut out to receive the new assembly.

Stephen glued the retaining wall on the new board and then covered the foam with MocRoc (plaster bandage). The final covering over the board joint will be created with the boards bolted together.
