Mostly this has been making the additional bits and pieces needed for the inside motion. The motion for the J6 differs from other versions of Stephenson\u2019s motion in that it has four valves rather than the more usual two. There are two between the cylinders and two above them. Although I have the full LG Stephenson\u2019s motion set, in the end I doubt that I will be able to use much more than the connecting rods, eccentric rods and the slide bars and cross heads. The other bits will go in the spares box for a future build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"774\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_0003-1024x774.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4325\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_0003-1024x774.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_0003-300x227.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_0003-768x580.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_0003-397x300.jpg 397w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_0003.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Gladiator J6 Scratch Built Inside Motion Parts<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The arms that fit to the lower linkages still need to be shortened to 5.5mm between hole centres. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The expansion links in the motion kit are a couple of millimetres longer than the GA and have a lug on one side which I would have to cut off for this particular application. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"752\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_00022-1024x752.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4328\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_00022-1024x752.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_00022-300x220.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_00022-768x564.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_00022-409x300.jpg 409w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_00022.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Gladiator J6 Inside Motion Parts<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"737\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_00012-1024x737.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4327\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_00012-1024x737.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_00012-300x216.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_00012-768x553.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_00012-417x300.jpg 417w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_00012.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Gladiator J6 Inside Motion Parts<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As I am making all the other parts to match the dimensions on the GA, I opted to make a pair of expansion links to match.
