Hi Will, relieved to see that last comment from you, the interesting old model is just fine with its attractive patina of history. If you hanker for a similar model / project yourself at some time, the smaller of the Stuart beam engines would make a nice companion piece: and there are other beam engine models designed by Anthony Mount, Tubal Caine and others, castings available for them too - you wouldn't need to design from scratch, unless that route especially appealed.Cheers, Dave
Will, you may also like to have a look through Elmer's designs: http://www.john-tom.com/html/ElmersEngines.html They are all made from barstock .If you are working with modern complex machine tools at work do they have a model shop? If so it may be worth going and having a chat with them, they may let you use their machine tools outside your work hours Jo
