Fell Engine Project - Steam Chest Cover - From Rust to Part S1.E29

In this episode I make the steam chest cover from rusty Cast Iron plate using the benchtop milling machine, this is followed by using a transfer punch to transfer the hole locations to the steam chest for drilling and tapping.
The Fell Engine Project follows the construction my first live steam locomotive a 1:12 scale, 3.5" gauge locomotive from scratch using my own drawings.
The locomotive being built is modelled on the NZR H Class which operated on the Rimutaka Incline, a 1 in 15 average slope line which utilised a centre rail system for additional traction and braking. The longest serving of the H Class locomotives were built in 1876 and operated until 1955.
