Thanks for the encouragement Rikki.
I've built-up the movement now, just the calendar mechanism, dial etc, remaining. (not put balance pivot stones back in yet)
Fitting the train-wheels plate went ok, a bit tricky to line up.
putting the pallets and plate back in place and oiling was ok, but also felt a bit tricky.
I hope to continue tomorrow or Thursday.
Cheers
