Vertical Steam Engine Model, Part Two

I'm still working on my vertical stationary steam engine model, in spite of numerous distractions, like replacing brakes on my son's motorcycle, and repairing the roof, in case it should ever rain again here, and working on the "useless machine". In an effort to break things loose, and get the project moving again, I roughed out several parts for the engine this weekend. I also managed to finish the crank bearings, and the vertical supports that will hold up the cylinder and cross head guide. The squarish looking parts you see in front of the engine bases will, with some luck, one day be the steam chests, the steam chest covers, the slide valves, and the cylinder supports, one of which is supporting a cylinder blank. It gives one the idea of how the finished engine might look.
