Hi Martin, thanks for your reply, yes we have a great steam loco engineering club next to the model boat club I attend, so intend taking the old Gannet along one day to let them have a look and hopefully one of the guys will be able to fabricate a new connecting rod.

Norman, just read your post about the Gannet. One of my favourite engines. I would try to reproduce the rod myself, but wouldn't do it for anyone else in case I got it wrong, but someone in your local model engineering club could help? You just need to know what type of aluminium alloy to use. And a milling machine so you can drill the holes in exactly the right place relative to each other.
Good luck,
Martin

Purchased this motor back in 1966, I've broken my con' rod, I need to replace it so any ideas?, I've had one fabricated from aircraft quality aluminium but I'm not happy with it 😢.
I do still have the original, though in two pieces 😪.
So I'm putting it out there for any ideas on replacing it, whether it be original (not much hope) or a good engineer to re-manufacture👍.
