Cylinder club appeal within striking distance of target with 2k to go

Both the cylinder and piston bores have been machined and the pilot holes to connect the cylinders to the smokebox to the cylinders have been drilled. The final drilling of the cylinder bolting faces and the faces that connect to the extension frames are to still to be done and are awaiting the final machining of the racking plate angles and the extension frames. The holes bolting these components all need to line up for the fitted bolts to make these into one assembly.
