Life brings both joy and sorrow and memories are what we are left with.  Hold the memories closely and let them guide you through this difficult time.  You have my deepest sympathies.

Building an engine takes Patience, Planning, Preparation and Machining.
Procrastination is nearly the same, but it precludes machining.
Thus, an engine will only be built once the procrastination stops and the machining begins!

Thanks you all for your kind words of support its very much appreciated.

I've finished of the Dake engine with a flash of gray paint, the finish is not too great as the paint i used tends to chip and for some reason probably chemical it doesn't want to stick to the milliput filler.





I'll update the video to show the two way valve in operation.

Thanks to you all again

That really looks great Stew. Not a lot of external stuff going on, but those who understand what's going on inside can enjoy it very much in operation.

Also my sympathies on the recent loss of your father. I have recently lost a sibling. It takes some time to recover.

Indeed!
It's an interesting engine. I was surprised by the response too. Nicely done!

Terrific piece of model engineering you have created there Stew. Its just so unpretentious in its form and function. A beautiful reproduction of the real deal shown in the beginning of the video, right down to the markings. WELL DONE  :ThumbsUp:
