Lesmo,
She's a beautiful engine!  And incredibly smooth.  I just love that motion too!

Excellent build, and great photography too.  What's the flywheel diameter?

Wonderful.

Seems like I saw this earlier in another thread. Well worth a repeat though!

Thank you all for taking the time to look at this offering, and for your kind reply's, it does help to keep up the old motivation.

Kirk, in answer to your question, the flywheel dia is just shy of 190mm.

Hi Les, that is a very nice engine, with a perfect motion to watch. I like this slow and smooth running engines very much. I have put a link to your video and Julius`s post with the drawings into our German Forum. The people like it, may be there will be somebody to start the build of this engine too.
Kind Regards
Achim
