Easy fix!  You know the feeling when you have put tons of work into something, up until 3:00 in the morning working to get some little issue worked out and you begin to think good enough?  At this point I need a push and I do appreciate it guys.

+1.  I wasn't trying to pick. I just noticed something I hadn't before and wondered what the extra space was for.  As for the counterweights, some .005 thick etchings could work nicely. 

Jason, don't be coy- your skills are outstanding.  I wouldn't try that front axle shift either as I think that axle is geared on the mike...

Max, you're right this is a tough crowd, not sure I'll ever post a kitbash here... :D

I hope that doesn't happen too much, but I fear that it does (meaning that the criticism, no matter how kindly
worded and well-intended, discourages people from posting their work for fear of being bashed).
This is diverging from the thread topic a big too much, so we can discuss in a separate thread.

What a great build. I don't have the time patience or skills required to do what you make look so easy.

I wish I knew your secret of making castings that delicate. I thought for sure the number boards were going to tear the mold.

Jason, that is a mighty impressive machine.   Close photos, please!  I feel like I can't appreciate it enough in these far shots.
I love the staged photo with the crowd coming out to meet the engine!
