Hi everyone.
I am in the process of building a Brassmaster class 5,
What I would like to do is 4767 which has Stephenson valve gear.
To this end I have the valve etch from Bill Bedford but as usual their are no instructions.
Has Anyone any experience of building this ech?

Re: Stephenson valve gear
Knowing Bill, if you follow the way the prototype is completed/put together, you should not be too far out in completing the valve gear.

Well, you might like this 7mm beauty with which I was seen consorting at Railex.

Think Phil's already gone some way down the assembly road - click here
That would be an ecumenical matter.
Re: Stephenson valve gear
In ncase you all thought this had died a death, some pictures of the final outcome.
After issues with the slipping drivers and a jamming gearbox (all of my own making) after pinning the drivers as per Tim V all is running as it should be DCC fitted as well.
The second picture show just how effin little room there is in P4 and in fact I had to move the valve gear our fractionally in order to get a working clearence.
If Danny has room on the S4 stand at Railex next week I can bring it along, alternatively I will see what we can do on the RDMC club stand

Please do. I'm bringing my camera.
I've just bought a second valve gear fret just in case the first one goes Pete Tong.

Hi Phil,
If you like you are also more than welcome to give it a run on Brinkley.

Thanks for the offer, I'll take you up on it, must put some coal in the tender first!
