Nice work, should be interesting. It looks a bit like a scaled down stuart no. 1. Nick |

Hi Benni, that is going to be a very nice looking and good running engine when you are done. I bought a kit, and ended up giving it to a close friend for Christmas, so he's building it, but the castings are good quality, and the plans are such that with modern equipment, it is much easier to build than it was eighty years ago. I have the same problem with conversion to metric and imperial, having been raised on U.S. standard, the funny thing is, any one system would work, but no one is willing to let go of their own, long accustomed, and well ingrained system. We officially adopted the metric system almost a hundred and fifty years ago, yet very little of America uses metric except in imported things primarily. I hope you get this going smoothly and quickly so we can all see a good running engine, and for all the arguing, converting to a close enough size, one that fits the job, it must do, is as good as it needs to be, I use metric when scrap parts turn out to be such, and are things like ground shafting, and bushings that fit, and just adjust things around to fit in. Great start on a nice engine :beer: Cheers, mad jack |

Thank you every one for nice words, that is a big inspiration for me. :clap: Some progress sense last week: I am still working on the cylinder.. Drilling the center hole for the valve chamber.. .. and then some turns on the lathe.. ..some drilling for the exhaust steam.. ..cleaning up.. ..threading. The very same for the steam inlet. Prepare for the steam channels Those channels should be drilling at 45 degree. Finish. The cylinder head.. Drilling hole for the allen bolts. Threading. And now my friends, this part is finish. I'll be back Benni |
