Looking among the inmates on my orphan shelf, this one said "hello"! :wave: An all brass, Robinson type hot air engine. Non runner, as usual. Should be no real problem..... :thumbup: Does anyone recognise the design? Is it made from any available drawings? Just over 6" tall + plinth. 3" dia. flywheel. Thought never to have run....... But been very well/ regularly polished before it arrived here. ::) Anyone got a clue/ idea to it's parentage? Pleese! David D |

Hmmm...... :scratch: Over 100 hits, and not one comment. Guess it must be unique! :thumbup: Wonder what it's story is. If only it could talk...... ::) David D |

Never seen it before. Looks cool tho... |

Hi Dave Interesting little engine, just had a look through my books, nowt seems to match. Would guess at a home brew one-off. What does the plate say ??? 'DEE' ??? Take it off. Maybe a bit of paper underneath, ..... big black X treasure buried here. ... :loco: Cute though. Like the rolled bits on the firebox. If that's what it is ?? BC |

Heyup Dave. The plate says ROBBO. Either the maker, or 'cos it's a little Robinson. :scratch: Probably, never run...... The hot cap was clean/ not sooty, before I fired it. Much too rapid heat transfer to top end. Needs a barrier of some sort. The firebox looks rolled, though I doubt it. The nameplate is pressed. Letters raised. David D |
