Thank you very much Bob , the engine was a difficult one to get running as it needs very little gas .

[Kim]

Jeff, it sure looks good!  And runs quite well. Something to be very proud of!

impressive and beautiful engine !
iron, steel, bronze, painted parts and different woods match perfectly.

could we have some details on the clutch and brake  ?

[ShopShoe]

That's a beautiful engine and it sounds so great. I agree that the choices of materials and paint and the wood look well together.

Add my name to those curious about the clutch, etc.

Thanks for the kind words .
The clutch was modeled after the Sistersville clutch which was used on many engines in oil field service.
I purchased the castings for the clutch and power from Brad Smith , the power is not shown in the video because of lack of shop space .
I feel that the addition of the clutch made the engine look complete .
The scale hot tube was designed by Norm Colby .
I added several details that were not included in the plans far too many to list .
I purchased the remaining stock that Brad had for the clutches last year if anyone is interested in building it let me know .Jeff
