It has been a while since I updated so here it is. First I did end up moving the cylinders outward to acheive crosshead wheel clearance, never again will I alter these dimensions.

Also the spacer used for the drive rod is a RC car collet found at the LHS, It's a 1/4" one I believe. Here's a funny side note on the build, if you look at the lower left hand corner of the picture of the plans on page one you will see a diagram of the top of the engine relating to modifications over the years, the sand dome I built was for the W&W's #7 not #4's. # 4's the is the sand dome on the loco top left hand corner of the page. O.k anyways I got another Annie at Sam's Club this year!

[img]http://1stclass.mylargescale.com/carpentermatt//close6.JPG[/img] Cab construction has been underway and the sides are board by board construction where as the ends were scribed plywood. The side were originally going to be scribed but I just for some reason want a functioning window and the plywood wood have crowed the cab inside. Board by board just look better to!
