This will be soldered to the cylinder front in between the slide\nbars, instead of being suspended from a substantial bracket between the frames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is my first real item produced with the mill and I am\nhappy with how it turned out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"431\" height=\"355\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_0002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4759\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_0002.jpg 431w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_0002-300x247.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_0002-364x300.jpg 364w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 431px) 100vw, 431px\" \/><figcaption>Milled Expansion link support bracket<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"866\" height=\"850\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_0003.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4760\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_0003.jpg 866w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_0003-300x294.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_0003-768x754.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_0003-306x300.jpg 306w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 866px) 100vw, 866px\" \/><figcaption>Milled Expansion link support bracket<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"769\" height=\"642\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_0004.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4761\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_0004.jpg 769w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_0004-300x250.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_0004-768x641.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_0004-359x300.jpg 359w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 769px) 100vw, 769px\" \/><figcaption>Milled Expansion link support bracket<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"862\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_0005-1024x862.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4762\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_0005-1024x862.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_0005-300x253.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_0005-768x646.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_0005-356x300.jpg 356w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_0005.jpg 1257w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Milled Expansion link support bracket<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where it will sit in between the slide bars on the cylinder front.
