I've got my eye on one of these beasts.

Simpson and Shipton Reciprocating steam engine, best way I describe it is that its works with a captive eccentric.

Antony Mount made one a few years ago and polly model suply castings.

From my research only two were made the first was displayed at the great exhibition and drove some textile machinery, this was the basis of Antony Mounts engine apparently a second was made with a diferent power take off but there are no images of it.

So i think I may use the speculation of this second engine as a basis for my model, got some ideas on how to configure the drive, I don't have any drawings to work to so I'll have to figure things out as i go along, and it will be fabricated from bar stock some how. :scratch:

Stew, really fantastic stuff, the engine looks great and as usual I`ve learnt a lot from your excellent descriptions and photos. What camera do you use for your photos and what lighting (or please point me to a link if you have already mentioned this elsewhere!)

The next engine you mentioned sounds a challange but I`d still love to see you build a clock as I`m certain that with your skills it would not be second to even a clockmakers attempts! I know you mentioned building one a few years back...

Anyway, amazing work Stew! :bow: :bow: really really great stuff
