Kirk,
It's a good thing you locked the shop elves out cause they'd have a field day with those small parts. Looks great, runs great.

All put back together.  I tested that it ran before adding the governor stuff, so once I get around to shortening a bunch of 0-80 screws I should be able to call this one done.

Not in a diorama, nor do the governor or pump actually work, but the end result is the "look" I was after.

This will be delicate to take to CF.

Looks great!

For travelling, can the flywheel be removed to take off the weight of it from the rest?

I can remove the flywheel and governor.  Probably need a box with foam padding for the rest.

That is a very nice looking engine. I like the balance of brass to other materials.  :ThumbsUp:
