Steam cylinder/slide bars - a photo on Flickriver

            Someone probably came up with this idea before, but it's just struck me today after a lot of thinking.

I'm trying to move the piston slide bars on my GWR Manor out a bit. Right now they're attached with a 7L liftarm (bottom setup), which is too close for the connecting rods to fit. However I didn't want them to be as far out as the top setup (8L). That would make them stick out further than the cylinders, which looks bad.

The magic piece is the grey 1x2 plate with bars on the ends (3829). Using that to hold 3L liftarms places my bars between the 7L and 8L setups. Perfect! The liftarms are supported by tiles underneath (blue) to stop them drooping.
