Throttle lever "casting" with quadrant and lever, along with the throttle lever mount "casting". Not quite done, the handle and release lever still has to be made. On a part like this there is a lot of fiddling and fitting. Any slop in this mechanism is multiplied by every joint and bearing all the way to the actual throttle in the smoke box. So good workmanship and careful fitting really pays off in a mechanism that's not sloppy.
