Pick these castings up at the clubs annual auction. They are off a loco inside valve loco, no one new could say which one though, also one cylinder cover is missing but that can be easily fixed, they have a part number cast into them its 3/102 anybody recognise them. No one wanted them, but I think they were looking at them as loco cylinders, but the more I stared at then the more they stared back and said make me into a twin cylinder vertical marine engine. Got them for £1 :D :D :D :D Stew |

Nice acquisition there Stew.... I'm sure you'll turm them into something very pretty and interesting |

Hi Stew I'm sure you will make something gorgeous from them. X / XXX for a number is vaguely Reeves-ish. ?? [ Don't bother searching the Reeves site... nowt shows ... ] BC |

I've identified the castings with the help of Dick over on Model Engineer site. They are for Martin Evans 3 1/2" gauge Rob Roy Reeves are selling a set for £90 :bugeye:------------------- what a bargan :lol: Mind you if i do make them into twin vertical marine engine it will be a bit of a beast with 1" bores and 2" stroke, I think I'd have to build a model Titanic for them to go in :D :D :D :D Stew |
