Hi saw

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and a big MadModder welcome. Glad to have you aboard the forum. I am sure that you will find lots of like minded people here that can answer most any question that you may have.

If you are up late on Friday please make sure that Santa stays out of the Rum and Egg Nog so that he can get underway on time with his deliveries.  :lol: :lol:

Cheers  :beer:

Hiya Saw!  :wave:

Welcome to the collective :borg:

Don't worry about your English. I think we all understand what you are trying to say, so no apologies needed (your English is much better than my Swedish!!)

That is a nice looking twin. I would be proud to show that one off. Very nice indeed.

Hello and thanks everyone for nice words.
First, I hade to edmitt, I brought this engine full machined from thesteamchest on ebay. However, when I put this engine together I discover that it was radar porly done, so many things I have to redone.
I have done this with (sit doun folks and hold in your hats..) with my old Unimat SL  :headbang:. No this engine runs prety well, and when I test with soup-water(wrong spellin?) on the engine(it's like painting where I belive there is a leak), I found that I have a engine with 99% no leak.  :D.

What I am aming for is to try to create a real marin engine with no bending tubs at all. I will use a lot of elbow, tee, kros and checkvalves.
When I was young I was in the Swedish marin. I was stationary on a very old steam-ship (build 1916 I belived), and this ship has an 3 cyl steam engine. This woud be a dream to build it, but I don't think a can.

You was asking for som more pic and here we go..
