Good evening everyone,

It's been awhile since our last update, but our forward progress has been minimal, owing to how long it has been taking to get all parts digitized in Solidworks.

We do now, however, have a fairly cool update to share: A work-in-progress "assembly model" of a ten wheeler built within Solidworks to help illustrate how everything fits together, and to help make sure all timing, angles, lengths, etc. add up correctly.

This included picture of the assembly represents 67 different pieces assembled together to make up the engine. This does not include all of the numerous bolts, pins, etc., and one will notice that the cylinders/valve chests are missing as we haven't modelled them yet.

We have much more work to do on the assembly model, but figured this update would be cool to share.
