Good idea, although it'll be a digicam clip so not a very
good framerate. Sadly the valve pistons are more for looks
than authenticity - I couldn't find a way to get them to
reciprocate in the opposite direction to the drive pistons.

Look forward to it.

So that's it. I'd been under the (understandably mistaken)
impression that the mosaic set used tiles, not plates. I'll
have to get one of those.

I seem to remember another post talking about this - thanks
for the tip. Good news about the 2x4 wings - I was looking
for these because the Bachmann Shay cylinders have a triangular
plate flat against the cylinder - I think the extended corner
supports part of the valve gear. But I didn't have any - soon
to be corrected.
Cheers for all the help.
