David Job well done. I read the entire 8 pages of the posted forum link and it is great what an international team effort can achieve. Congratulations. Keep up the good work. :D :D :D Cheers :beer: Don |

Thank you Don! I really enjoy helping out, if I can! :thumbup: I don't do money for this sort of job, if I can help it. Preferring TOYS, if possible. :D This arrived, a little later...... It's a Solar-1 hot air engine. Made by PM Research, USA. Not new. But only needing a little clean, and re oil. I already had the 1950's version, made by Davies Charlton, in the UK. Transatlantic cousins...... And, after doing the necessary..... Two down. One to go..... David D |

Lovely Job Dave Your friend in the US looks to me making a great job of restoration, only saw the first page the rest wouldn't open I'll have another go later. Stew |

Nice job with the fix David! You really have to build your own... :dremel: Eric |

Next up was the Davies Charlton engine. Probably over 50yrs old. Very tired..... Poor little thing had been run until it could run no more. The displacer was dragging on the bottom of the hot cap! ::) I slid the chamber onto a handy plug...... Drilled out to 5mm, and tapped part way in, M6...... Plugged with 6mm brass bar, turned/ threaded to fit...... Then drilled out 4mm dia and re-assembled..... A runner, but, still not happy enough! Soo.... It had to be a new piston...... Made this one 1/8" longer in the skirt. To provide an oiling area prior to running. Also 3 small oil grooves..... That will do..... Looks as though I've got the start of a fleet..... David D |
