Machining a Power Quadrant for a Steam Locomotive

When the boiler on the Reading 2100 steam locomotive (soon to be American Freedom Train 250) is fired up again, instead of coal, it will be running on oil. As a result, there needs to be a way to regulate the flow of oil into the firebox using a new valve that will be controlled by a power quadrant. My task this week is to machine the quadrant and bracket to accept a new bushing and to also machine the busing. A control shaft will then be machined to fit.
