As it happens I had to adjust one of the slide bars as I hadn&#8217;t got it quite square and the cylinder covers are such a good fit that although the solder softened, they never moved.

I used the David Andrews Slide bars and crossheads for the simulated inside motion because they don&#8217;t have as much details as the LG Miniatures versions. Now I come to fit the LG crossheads with the connecting rods which are replacements from Premier Components I find that the LG crossheads are different to those that I have used on other builds in so much as they have a slot in them rather than an open back. This means that I will have to mill the connecting rod ends to get them to fit in the slot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_0001-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"694\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_0001-4-694x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5586\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_0001-4-694x1024.jpg 694w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_0001-4-203x300.jpg 203w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_0001-4-768x1133.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_0001-4.jpg 868w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 694px) 100vw, 694px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>LG Miniatures Cross head with Premier Connecting Rod<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A&nbsp;picture paints a thousand words as they say&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back to the Princess this week after moving the J6 along.
