Mini K-27 - Valve Gear

Work on the K-27 project has been slow but I was able to complete the valve gear segment this afternoon. A total of 38 parts had to be machined for this section along with a couple of jigs for setting the valve gear. It is nice to now have a fairly complete bottom end mechanical assembly. The next segment will be the axle driven pump.

The page for this segment of construction may be found here with all of the details: K-27 Valve Gear

The frame is about 40" from pilot beam to the rear beam. The width over the cylinders is around 11.5 inches.
Bore and stroke is 1.34" x 2.05".
Scale: 1/10.27 (1' = 1.17")
Gauge: 3.5"
