Thanks Don!

I'll get to it....eventually....

That will make up into a nice little filer - just the ticket, especially if you can rig an over-arm for it!

steamer · « **Reply #2 on:** April 27, 2013, 11:36:48 PM »

Yup! I suspect an overarm should be easy enough to rig.

Dave

steamer · « **Reply #3 on:** April 27, 2013, 11:53:21 PM »

The castings are beautiful!....Really nice iron!

Dave

Competition

see how many of these you can name:

A very nice man

let me have these recently:

I do seem to making these engines a little faster than before maybe I am a little short of Castings

But then I have started doing this:

So can you guess what these are going to be

Jo

Maryak · « **Reply #5 on:** April 28, 2013, 08:27:27 AM »

Easy,

Engine 1
Engine 2
Engine 3
Engine 4
Engine 5
Engine 6
Engine 7
Engine 8
Engine 9
Engine 10
Engine 11

There; now that's cast, can I reel anybody in.

Jo · « **Reply #6 on:** April 28, 2013, 08:30:26 AM »

I just realised I missed two casting sets off.

The 1/12th Stothert and Pitt which is going to be sold...... and

Jo

Edit to correct the scale of the S&P

Jasonb · « **Reply #7 on:** April 28, 2013, 08:32:33 AM »

I'll hold off answering as I know what they all are so a few others can have a guess.

Jo its the 1/12th you want to sell not the 1/6th $:-\$

Jo · « **Reply #8 on:** April 28, 2013, 08:39:10 AM »

You are correct.

Jo

Jasonb · « **Reply #9 on:** April 28, 2013, 08:42:03 AM »

And don't you have a few bits of Corliss knocking about somewhere

tel · « **Reply #10 on:** April 28, 2013, 08:43:32 AM »

I could name about half of 'em (without cheating)

Are you casting your bread upon the waters for more Jo?

Jo · « **Reply #11 on:** April 28, 2013, 08:48:28 AM »

But I have started them

And there is another 5 set of castings for a strange type of models

I will admit to the 7 1/4" Locomotion which is a mobile beam engine

Tel: you should know I never turn down an offer for castings

Jo

Jasonb · « **Reply #12 on:** April 28, 2013, 09:04:39 AM »

I Think Jo needs to change her user name to Old Mother Hubbard

sco · « **Reply #13 on:** April 28, 2013, 09:09:00 AM »

Well I can see the Armstrong engine castings in your collection which are on my wish list.

steamer · « **Reply #14 on:** April 28, 2013, 11:10:51 AM »

I can name About half of them Jo!...including the heritage ones...the feed pump, and the triple

I am so not worthy Jo Mistress of the castings!

......best answer I've heard yet!

steamer · « **Reply #16 on:** April 28, 2013, 11:16:00 AM »

PS

That last one is kind of a stretch for a "casting" set don't you think.......?

Jo · « **Reply #17 on:** April 28, 2013, 11:46:22 AM »

Yes and so is the S&P but I bet you can't guess what I am going to make with it. One person got it right

Jo

steamer · « **Reply #18 on:** April 28, 2013, 11:48:18 AM »

......and engine?

Jo · « **Reply #19 on:** April 28, 2013, 12:03:02 PM »

You must have spotted the pair of spark plugs. If you read the bits of aluminium they have the component names on them

But I must be honest that one might be a little difficult as I intend on making a real pair of crankcases for her with that large lump of aluminium where as the original design had a strange open crank.
--------
So come on boys name those casting sets. Simon is correct the second photo is of the Armstrong Hydraulic Engine. Dave: Which triple is it?

Jo

steamer · « **Reply #20 on:** April 28, 2013, 12:07:30 PM »

It's not the Stuart, I was thinking the Bolton triple

The feed pump is the Stuart....infamous for it's pilot valve being difficult to build.

Dave

tel · « **Reply #21 on:** April 28, 2013, 12:22:56 PM »

And no 1 is the McOnie

tangler · « **Reply #22 on:** April 28, 2013, 12:27:32 PM »

OK I'll play.

I think I can see:

Galloway gas engine
ETW's Centaur and Diagonal Paddle Engine
Curley's Duplex Feed Pump

Are those answers worth half a hot cross bun?

Rod

Jo · « **Reply #23 on:** April 28, 2013, 01:18:09 PM »

Rod you are more than welcome to one of my hot cross buns. Which one (scale) of the Galloways is it?

Dave, no you were right first time that is the Stuart Triple.

Over half way

Jo

Jasonb · « **Reply #24 on:** April 28, 2013, 01:21:30 PM »

Here is a clue to number 11

Well Watson, are those flywheels 5 " or 10"? The carpet pattern looks much the same size as the Centaur ( 7" flywheel) pics so the flywheels are indubitably smaller and it must be the 6th scale Galloway - elementary.

Nah, it's a twin. Hoglet?

And I've named the last one

Aaw Jason! I'd just got Westbury's Double Tangye without the clue

ausdier · « **Reply #34 on:** April 28, 2013, 05:08:56 PM »

There was a nice little Die Filing Machine printed in Australian Model Engineering.
Designed by Graham Smith, it is made from barstock and has an overarm.
Table is 140 across the front, by 130.
Here is an example with a few of my own little touches.

Pete49 · « **Reply #35 on:** April 29, 2013, 04:27:06 AM »

Now that's a nice filer Ausdier. Can you tell me what edition this is in and I will look for a copy as I have a need for just such a beast.

Hey Pete,

For small stuff it seems fine....appears to need a hold down though

Jo

steamer · « **Reply #44 on:** May 08, 2013, 05:12:39 PM »

I'm guessing a vertical because the cylinder has a "plinth" on it....

An entabliature engine...say maybe a vertical inverted mill engine?
(crank on top, cylinder on the bottom...)

So what engine is that, I know my guess is right. Just wanted to give others a chance

To make it easier I'll say the E stands for Engine

No clue.....

Too many $:-\$

I will have to find another casting set..

Jo

steamer · « **Reply #50 on:** May 08, 2013, 05:31:48 PM »

I don't think its the WT...it's missing a couple of castings if it is....unless those parts are fabbed....

Well?

Jo · « **Reply #51 on:** May 08, 2013, 05:33:07 PM »

That is the full set. I have given another clue with the long reach drill to make it really easy for you

Your layin it down Jason I'm just not pickin it up!

I agree ....table engine....but I don't know which one.

"E"

tvoght · « **Reply #58 on:** May 08, 2013, 07:12:29 PM »

Jason's hints too obvious to ignore.

Ramon's build log (without castings, as I remember) on another site was exemplary.

--Tim

steamer · « **Reply #59 on:** May 08, 2013, 07:16:00 PM »

I know Tim..and I hinted to that above...but its missing the guide castings...it is if they are fabrications though....

Dave

tvoght · « **Reply #60 on:** May 08, 2013, 07:18:17 PM »

I think the description on that page only mentions the flywheel, cylinder, and eccentric strap.
