Just me playing with trains again!
This crosshead took nearly a year to get installed. Careful measuring, shimming, reaming tapered holes, making tapered bolts, and then after all that it goes together in about 10 minutes. Very satisfying.

The early medieval Govan Cross, one of my favourite of the Clyde Britons' carved stones, pictured here, sitting within the splendour of Govan Old.
This cross seems to have had a crosshead, which is now lost (or lies somewhere in Govan Old's 1,500-year-old kirkyard).

A truly useful AI copilot in InDesign would let me say "change all the headline1 crossheads to headline2 and make sure they're all in sapphire medium". But no, yours truly is wading through a 52-page document fixing each crosshead by hand 🙄🙄🙄

Me, incessantly to my colleagues: Please don't use gerunds in heads and crossheads, and keep crossheads short enough to go on one line in the PDF.
Also me: editing every single head and crosshead in this long document *sigh*

On tearing her apart, I discovered a slight bind in the right crosshead which got corrected. And I replaced the motor with a higher speed coreless.
Also decided to put a bigger bassier speaker under the coal load by adding a false bottom.

Shoutout to rivarossi for making the combination lever go BETWEEN the crosshead guides. Can you tell I finally picked this up after like 10 days of not wanting to touch it

New neighbour knocks and asks if she can borrow a screwdriver. Sure, what type, flat or crosshead?
