Nicely done Tony!
Feels good eh?

What did you use to attach the wood to the cylinder?

Zee I stole the idea from a Keith Appleton video and stuck them on with super glue.

Looks to be a good little engine and a nice runner  :)

Just as a matter of interest what size bore and stroke is it ?  It seems to have quite a chunky looking cylinder for a fairly small model.

It's a 3/8 diameter piston with a 1/2 inch stroke.

Nice looking engine Tony and it runs nice as well. Boy that wood cladding does fatten them up!

Thanks everyone. It's a nice "first casting kit" type of engine and a good time filler while I figured out what my next big project is.

in accordance with my current pattern it's time for another of Elmer's engines. It was between the number 29 mine engine and the number 32 tall vertical open column. I ended up settling on the number 32. I'm still waiting on some material so I'll get started on that next week.
