Title: My Orphanage Inmates.......
Post by: Stilldrillin on October 21, 2011, 02:15:53 AM

The other day, Stew asked about my orphanage engines...... Set me thinking...... Just what have I got in stock?  :scratch:

What is an orphan engine? It's one which needs attention to run better, or at all!  ::)

Some, you've seen before, still needing finishing......

During the summer, this little fella arrived unannounced, from Australia!

Plus, a box of Mamod parts to make another (final) 3 cylinder engine. To be named Trebble.


I reckon there's enough work here, for a long time to come.......  :D

Hi Eric.
That was a one off, experimental hot air engine made by Allbon. To prove the T linkage between the cylinders.

I added the coolant tank.

Great collection, David. Are they yours, or in for repair and return?

Andy

PS I'm sure a teddy bear would be more comfortable to sleep with. Still, at least you made the bed  :)
