Arnold, Fabulous from start to finish, so well photographed and documented. :bow: :bow: :bow: And the finished engine I'll go along with Benni - A Masterpiece. The perspex cover - what a beautiful touch. :bow: :bow: :bow: You really are an inspiration to a lot of us Arnold :bow: :bow: :bow: :beer: DaveH |

Thank you Dave :beer: - If I'm an inspiration, well, thank you, but that's passing along inspiration I gained from other people and having fun in the process :D :beer:, Arnold |

superb :) |

Arnold, Finely executed. I was curious how well the Kimble would run with air leaking past the sides of the vane. You have proved it can be done. Alan |

Bill, Thanks :beer: Thank you Alan :beer: . Yes, it can be done, but tolerances are very close; between the relatively tiny air/steam passages feeding the engine and the comparatively "large" surface area around the vane, this was quite a difficult engine to build. I took the time to really try to understand what would make it tick over, and I'll openly admit that it was more of a challenge to get going than Phil Duclos's "Little Blazer"! :beer:, Arnold |
