Randall Cox's Open Column Six Engine

(1/1)

cfellows:
This is the six cylinder version of my Open Column Twin.  It was designed and built by Randall Cox and was featured in a two-part build article in Issues 1 and 2 of Model Engine Builder.  I first saw Randall's engine at the GEARS model engine show in Portland, OR in 2006.  I loved the engine and decided to build my twin and pattern after Randall's design.  I'm now thinking a 3 cylinder inline version would also be pretty neat.

This is the first video I've seen of this engine.  Randall emailed me a couple of days ago with a link to the video, so I thought I would post it for the HMEM group.

Very nice. I like that sound. It almost sounds like it's blowing bubbles when ideling down.

Thanks for posting.

I'm with Bernd on that,

Lovely engine, lovely sound...like a 30's side-valve car engine.

Thanks

Andy

It must be a great feeling to see one of your projects taken up and extended by someone else. And it is a great engine. Congratulations Chuck.
