My Orphanage Inmates.......
« 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......

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?

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

They're all mine, except the little one from Oz. He's the next project.....  :scratch:

Not too sure about the teddy....... Much prefer Mrs D!  :D

I've had most of 'em for years. I'll never be short of something to fiddle with!  :thumbup:
