Sideshaft Hit-Miss

(1/4) > >>

Dave G:
Here's a pic of one of my scratchbuilt engines. It is of hit-miss design made from barstock with the only castings being the flywheels. The sideshaft gears were sourced from Paul Debolt of Debolt Engines and are their Vaughn gears. There are very few sideshaft engines being modeled and I wanted to see if I could produce a worthy example. It is not modeled after any one full size engine but incorporates features of many engines I have seen and a few of my own ideas. It has a 1.25" dia bore and a 2" stroke with 8" flywheels and uses a flyball governor to regulate speed.

Dave G:
Another view from the cylinder head end.

Dave G:
And one more.

John Stevenson:
How does the govenor work? looks to push the rocker sideways but that doesn't seem right as it would take a lot of throw to do that.
