Hi Walter, this is engineering and model making taken to unbelievable heights!! 8O :clap: :clap: The precision of the work is amazing - did you previously make watches? I am awestruck!

Keep up the brilliant work and I for one will be following with mouth open.

Gear box bearing support parts.On hindsight I could also have used ball bearings instead of brass bushes. Wonderful thing hindsight is.
