Sorry.  I meant to post this engine - not the other one twice.  I'm learning - I think.   :loco:  Ralph

Thanks Rob, and Thank you for fixing my posting errors.  I'll try to round up some photos, and maybe I can find my build sketches.  I do have short videos of some of my other engines that I can post.  Ralph

Just a quick picture of my latest engine.  Is started out as a treadle finger engine and developed into something else.  I'll try to post an action video if I can get it running this weekend.  Need to fiddle with the timeing, etc.     Ralph

Thanks Rob and John.  The video is posted - just click on the picture.  The engine runs surprisingly well, especially at low RPM.  Ralph

I found a sketch of an engine (Vertical one cylinder) that I posted earlier.  It's out of sequence here but just scroll up to the posted video of the Vertical one cylinder video posted.  It's not a work drawing - just a sketch.  Ralph
