I used to work at Crossley-Premier Engines in Sandiacre in England and when the company closed down we apprentices were instructed to burn all the drawings and instruction manuals out in the yard. It was heartbreaking!
I managed to save some items including a cross section of the works drawing for a HH12 single cylinder and twin cylinder (which was 2 single cylinder engines joined by a common crankshaft)
I always intended to build a model one day but have never got round to it and, to be honest, I don't really have the time but, one lives in hope.
Has anyone any experience of building a scale model of a diesel or gas engine from full sized plans?
The HH12 engines had a bore of 12 1/2"inches and a stroke of 21"inches and I was thinking of a scale of 1/4.
Any advice appreciated.
