You had one
, good looking toy. I think anyone else might have had to struggle with the sheer size . . . a Forklift and chain block do come in handy.Pat

Nope. Hands only.
Many years ago when the railways were State owned they used to put the new rails in stockpiles along the railway lines.
Someone asked a person in authority if they ever had any stolen.
His answer was, "No, but if one person can pick it up and take it, they are welcome to it."

Hey , show 'em the brass plates.

More progress
All the components have been sandblasted and cleaned so today I assembled the compound rest after painting it.
After nearly 55 years or more the tolerances are fantastic. I had to remove some paint on the load faces because the feed wheels would not rotate with it there.
Cleaned the rack and reattached that.
Polished the bed and then fitted the rest in place and loosely adjusted the gib strips. They will be finely tuned after some use.

Bit of a shame when it is so nice and clean but I then oiled all the bed and the oil holes on the rest. Movement is a little tight at the moment but everything has to seat in.

Finished assembling the saddle on the bed.

While this was going on the belt which was in good nick has been shortened by an inch and new clip fitted.

The ID plate as it looks now.
