I've decided to put this in as a separate project as it helps keep things tidier.
Here's the original winch and crane taken from a photograph showing Pluckley Station in East Sussex.
Here are the sides and the 'flanges' all very kindly cut out for me by Jamie Page on his engraver. The flanges, once soldered on, will represent the webs on what would have been a casting.
I managed to buy some cogs of about the right size that will need their centres filled in and re bored to suit the rods and shafts that I'll be using. The picture next is the drawing, enlarged from 7mm, that I've been following. I'm not sure if the winch will work as the large wheel isn't at all concentric but, I'll try my best to get it to work
