Danni build - February 14: Starting to look like a steam engine

Starting to look like an engine

The two holes visible on the right of the cylinder are the ports for steam—or air, in my case. With the valve directing the flow, they let air enter and leave the cylinder to push the piston in and out.

I now had the start of something looking like a steam engine!

The cylinder fitted to the frame, with its two air ports visible on the side — The cylinder on the frame, with the two ports visible.

I also finished some of the bushing pieces.
