I like the white board actually, not what I would have chosen but it sets off and shows off each item very well indeed.
I've no intention of rising to your challenge of 'spotting the mistakes', (in other words I can't see any!).  |
I think there is one which I admit is hard to pick out and you will have to look close. Shall I tell you as it may not be a mistake at all or let it run a little longer? I'm no expert by any stretch of the imagination but I will give you a clue ...its age related but like I say I could be wrong. I did say for the purists remember

Freesteam has a reputation of having the best workshop buildera round, we love them and our members have some pretty impressive set ups! |
Do you mean the lineshaft closer to the engines or in a more narrow configuration with each tool being closer together side by side by moving the pulleys closer? |
Bit of both maybe, overall it works for me! |
Thanks, it works for me and fills the board nicely I think with plenty of space between each. I must admit I do like the long drive band from the engines to the lineshafts with the tools a little closer to the lineshaft. I guess there is no right or wrong way and its more a matter of what and how you like to place them or am I wrong about that  I intend to make a short video of them running and put it up on Youtube soon. BTW I only just (as in today) got the correct burner for my SE2 an eBay "buy it now" purchase as I kept missing out on them. The guy/woman selling it's got another and some other bits for sale. I wonder if it's a member off here.

Who better to follow than Mr Malins himself

Thanks for that MC much appreciated.
I did look at a few set ups on Youtube but they (tools etc) didn't appear in any particular order. I think I will stick with the way I have it set up at the moment as I am pleased with the results. I did put some thought into the arrangement but knowing very little about these things that's what I ended up with.

My two big workshops, I like smaller Meccano based ones now, but I get these two out now and again, plenty of lineshafts mean to can split drives and add a little interest to the proceedings...

Ok - I wouldn't have put the TE/SR Chimney cap into the SE3, but it's all a matter of taste! Maybe it's the angle of the photo, but that is the propper sized SE3 burner (i.e. a longer version of the square brass design)?
