Gents,

Apologies if this is no longer relevant, but I was talking today to a Lister owner from NW England about various castings etc. he was producing for a restoration. If anyone is interested please PM me and I will put you in touch.

Cripes, we might actually meet up.

Yours truly (and better half) are seeing family in Pudsey that weekend and I have special permish to come out to play.

Looking forward to it.

Please come and say hello - we'll be behind the combined Ripon / Poppleton layout trying to get something to run.....

[Adam Roper]

The Lister might not appear but the layout will - please come and see us anyway

After a long battle with magneto's and other things we are almost progressing. A test tow from 7954 shows that the magneto chain now stays on while a couple of back fires show that we have a spark and carburetion. As always with 12" to the foot modelling each step forward reveals a new problem (the clutch is stuck) but we getting closer....

We finally made it to Narrow Gauge North this year - it took a lot of hoisting to get it on and off the trailer but we got there.

It was worth the effort as taking the magneto apart generated the interest of a J.A.P. fan who pointed out that we've got a clockwise magneto and an anticlockwise engine. Which explains a lot.

So now all we have to do is convert the magneto from clockwise to anticlockwise....

It would look more realistic with a bit more weathering

[PeterH]

Yeah, though the figures are excellent.

[Adam Roper]

The weathering is all for real - the greasy black fingerprints are all mine.....

I really do want to finish the thing - its been ongoing for years.

This year's open day is 24th June if anyone is interested

[Adam Roper]

Well, its started, and it runs. What more do you need?

[Adam Roper]

More to do in places, but it has been running. The JAP engine turns out to be a bit of an awkward thing - no wonder so many failed in service due to oil supply problems. Its got a rotary valve to scour the oil / air mixture through the engine. Amongst other interesting oddities

[PeterH]

Sounds like you are having fun.
