Quobble......
« on: July 02, 2011, 02:09:26 AM »
I started on this project, some 3 years ago, before I joined Modder. Consequently, it's build has stayed on my other forum.

If you have the time........   http://modelsteam.myfreeforum.org/about21812.html


Quobble..... A four cylinder Mamod........ Because I thought I could.......  :thumbup:












Had it finished in time for this year's J26 show. I was too busy....... Passed it to another member to do the running..... He loved it!  :D

Afterwards, put it away, and got on with other things. As you do!

Yesterday, I realised, I hadn't played with it!  :palm:


Video......





It does slow, too.......




Now, it's back on the shelf again......  :wave:

Are you sure John?

Do you mean the 3 cylinder version?      http://madmodder.net/index.php?topic=1128.0

You sent me al link by PM, just as I finished doing your displacer piston. You said then that you had only just finished it.

I like the "Slow"  :D - there's something about any steam engine running slowly that I just like.
