--- Quote --- In which case, a collection of said coins is required which Stew then stamps 1/55, 2/55 etc. then Stew needs to productionise the manufacture as that would leave another 54 similar models to complete the set; or maybe franchise out the manufacture? or maybe, after publication, since they have single-model car racing - maybe there could be a single-model competition - but to be eligible the modeller would have to buy one of the numbered highlights from Stew? - and there could be a (healthy?) rivalry - "I've got New Hampshire" and you've only got "xxxx" !

Now thats an idea but first I'll collect the coins before I embark on the mass production of engines, I've got Maryland, Nebraska and Wyoming, as soon as you guys over the pond send me the rest I'll get started.

Well got the governor working but it needs a full tank of air and max pressure to make it go, I think its jut lack of power from the small dia cylinder. Take the drive belt off and it just runs away like the clappers, I'll be stripping down over the next week or so and blinging it up.

Things bin a bit slow this week, but I did manage to get the bits that are to be painted painted.

I used a acid etch primer for the non ferouse bits and an ordinary car primer for the ferous bit, I'm using a red metalic paint.

Also made a hard wood base her are the bits

And made a start on engine turning the ally base I'm using some cretex points that John gave me he olso explained the best way to do it :thumbup:

This is as far as i got i was getting a bit boseyed, and didn't want to mess it up and have to start again so I'll come back to it tomorrow and finish off.

"One more step along the way"........ :thumbup:

Not surprised you're bos-eyed Stew...... At first glance, the base looks like a beautiful piece of old embroidery! :D

Well done! :clap: :clap:

Well as you may have seen elsewhere this engine is now complete so just to finish off this thread hers the completed engine

And the video

I've just spent the last couple of days checking over the drawings and completing the drawing for the Governor bits

I've emailed the final drawing to every one who had the early drawings, if I've missed any one my apologies just give me :poke: via a PM.

And if anyone else wants a copy just send me a PM.
