Very cool.  I can't tell from the pictures, but are your driver wheels on either
side of the engine set 90 degrees out of phase with the associated timing
difference on your valve positioning?

A huge oversite on my part--

Ben, I know I've thanked you before, but seriously, again thanks for the wheel
sets that you produce--without them, my pneumatic train wouldn't have happened,
but more importantly, (imho) all LEGO steam engines look sooo much better now
with your wheelsets.

Thankfully I was at BF two years ago and bought (or got, can't remember now) 4
of your smaller wheels, which I used under the cab in this engine!

People who've seen the steam engines on our layout love the look of your
wheelsets!

And your geometry--spot on!!  The position of the hole worked (mostly) perfectly
for the small pneumatic pistons!

Very nicely done!!
