Valve Gear

[e-paw]

I found that designing and building valve gear is very hard. I am up to try #3 for my CNJ 4-8-0 . :-xI ran out of rivets and had to order more from Trains and Lanes :mrgreenmy local hobby shop).I was trying to find formulas for the dimensions of the various rods when I came upon this web page :thumb:witch has a cool demo on it.

ops: If you have any experience with making valve gear any suggestions would be handy. thanks...
