Nice start, i like where your going with the engine.

I'm sure there's a Group Build on here some where this would fit nicely in  Whistling

The effort was well worth it Fred. I have done some scratch work and i know it can be frustrating, but the end result can be so satisfying.

Oh, don't worry about this minor set back.  You'll be just fine, so far everything is going according to plan for the moment.  This is just a very minor setback!

I have to agree with Toshi. even with this setback you seem to be getting along quite well with this one regardless.

I'm looking forward to seeing what's next.
