Just to let u all know I finally made a runner. And broke the crankshaft and fixed it again. The first one was 2 part fixed with superglue??? My four year old loved the engine so much it did not last an hour. I then made the replacement by turning it out of as solid piece in the four jaw chuck--seems fine so far. FLywheel is 16mm diam and 4.5 wide.(forgot to put somthing for scale.) Gerhard |

Nice 1 Gerhard well done on making a runner! :bow: :beer: Like the oversized base ... it's certainly different! Nick |
| dsquire:
geroli Good little engine. Sounds like your 4 year old has got him a new toy. Now you are going to have to build another one for yourself. :lol: :lol: Cheers :beer: Don |
| sbwhart:
Good one Gerhard :clap: :clap: Your young son will treasure that engine, I've still got the steam engine my father gave me a long long time ago. Have fun Stew |
| Gerhard Olivier:
THanks for the nice comments. Nick plan with the oversize base was to have a controll valve in the middle of the pipe. Dont think Sean would let me have it back to make the valve. Don I hope to make one of my own design later but a lot of tools on top of the list. Gerhard |
