Hi Vince,

I like this smooth and very slow running model engines.
Good to see that this story has got a happy end.
Kind Regards

Very nice runner, Vince! Smooth and quiet... I love the motion of all the arms. I do understand the difficulty getting back in the saddle after a prolonged absence.

Best wishes,

Vince
The Monitor looks and runs beautifully. Looks like we’re both recent returns to the forum.
You are a braver man than I to disassemble a running Monitor.
I have this dread that if I took apart a wobbler with 3 parts it wouldn’t run again.
My reentry strategy was to build a simple engine (Elmer’s #50 Educational Model).
That’s basically done. I did take it apart for paint. Should be posting the finished engine soon
Best,
Stan

Vince,

I really enjoyed watching your monitor run. Nice and slow and I like the sound. I know it takes your projects take a while, but it's always worth the wait.

Any ideas for a next project?
