Engines I have built
« on: September 25, 2017, 01:57:03 PM »
In this section of the forum we have threads that help people with problems to do with specific engines. As we don't all look in on the forum as often as some and many builds may have happened before MEM, I thought it might be useful to turn the tables and get people to list what engines they have built. So that members could send them PM's with a  :help:

I suppose I should start, with my engines and any known features  :-\

Atom Minor III - Westbury
AHC Diesel - Motor Boys International (Ken Croft)
Calorific Gauge 1 Stirling locomotive - Roy Key
Centaur Horizontal Gas Engine (Carb problems )
Crosskill Oscillating Steam Engine - Anthony Mount
Double Tangye Steam Engine - Westbury
Double Tandem Compound - Horizontal Steam engine
Easton and Anderson grasshopper beam - Anthony Mount
Felgiebel - Two stroke Aero Engine (chops thumbs  :paranoia: )
Kiwi Four stroke petrol Engine - Westbury
Kittiwake Four Stroke petrol engine - Westbury
Lady Stephanie Beam Engine - Tubal Cain
Mary Beam Engine - Tubal Cain
RLE Horizontal Hit and Miss engine - Alyn Foundry
Robinson Hot Air Engine - Alyn Foundry
Robinson Hot Air Engine - Bruce Engineering
R&B Gas Engine - Bruce Davey  (Ornament - carb problems :facepalm2: also squashes thumbs   ::) )
Steeple Engine - Anthony Mount
Stentor two stroke aero engine - Veron
Stothert and Pitt Beam Engine - Jo Thoms
Stuart No 1 - Stuart Models
Stuart No 9 - Stuart Models
Stuart No 10 Vertical engine - Stuart Models
Stuart Standard Beam Engine - Stuart Models
Stuart 5A - Stuart Models
Stuart Swan - Stuart Models
Titan 60 Glowplug Aero Engine -  Gemaco

and underway:

Boulton and Watt Bell Crank Engine - Anthony Mount
Stuart triple (3 off) - Stuart Models
Wall Wizard - E Wall (Coles Power Models)

So boys are you willing to admit to what you have built /are building?

I did one of those a few years ago called "guess that casting set"  ::)

But it was only part of the collection  :mischief:

Other than Caloric (Gauge 1 loco which ran but did not have sufficient to power itself along = it was a stationary engine) I have left my vehicles off the engine list  ;)

Wow.  Just wow.  I did a search and found the scale Ford I6 here:

http://www.modelenginemaker.com/index.php/topic,2295.msg37648.html#msg37648

George, I doubt I'll ever have that level of skill, much less the sheer sized of unmentionables to take on that build.  FWIW, I own the last F150 model pickup that had the I6 engine (1996), and it's now old enough to go off on its own, soon to be sold or traded in for a younger model.

At the moment the count is eleven Stirling Engines plus one on the way, one is based on James G. Rizzo's Dyna, the rest are my own design. There are Ringbom engines, a free piston motor, an ALPHA two BETA and the rest are GAMMA motors. Three flame lickers, own design. A number of little wobblers(steam).

This a very interesting exercice !

much more easy to do now with the hudge amount of pictures i took while building engine.
for many of my earlier engines I only have memories and some plans on notebooks!
a large part of my engine are now sold...
but I have pictures on my Google album and/or video on YouTube for all those below!

Gauge 1 live steam locos :
020T "Juliet" by LBSC plan; pot boiler, alcohol fired & slip eccentrics.
030T "chingford express" from LBSC plans, but internally alcohol fired & SE
031T "8:35" an internally alcohol fired loco with Joy's valve gears, from scratch.

16mm narrow gauge live steamed locos:
030T MTVS tram lookalike, with Hackworth valve gear
030T slip eccentric, pot boiler with alcohol burner. 
E Glaser's "cracker" oscillating engine, gas fired, 3 of them

Gauge 0 live steamed :
J. Senft "dickins"; oscillating engine driven loco with alcohol burner, 2 of them
Scratch built :
020T toys like loco with wobbler engines & alcohol burner, 5 identical locos (but the colour!)
021T oscillating engine, internally gas fired.
many old toy locos rebuilt from wreck (Bing, Bowman, Mamod)

Stationary engines
Stuart D10
Stuart H10
ET Westbury "Vulcan" from bronze castings
Large Radiguet like vertical engine, from iron castings.
A large boiler for it, salvaged from iron scrap. 
A tiny 0.55 cm3 single acting piston valve engine with boiler from scratch :  4 identical engines

IC engines
all engines : spark & points ignition, petrol fueled.
7cm3 vertical engine 4 stroke OVH valves, air cooled from alu castings
"Cobra" vertical 7cm3 flat head 4 stroke, air cooled. alu castings
Atom, vertical 7cm3 OVH valves, 4stoke, water cooled, Al castings
"Bourdon" 8 cm3 2 stroke engine, not a fine runner...yet !
"Gearless" :A 10cm3 4 stroke vertical engine my own design with a gearless mechanism for exhaust valve from scratch and home casted parts.

in progress,  4 stroke inline 4 cylinder engine (=4x7cm3), flat head, air cooled, 2 engines about half way from completion.

auto-ignition engines,
"nano" : 0.1 cm3 diesel engine from R. Gordon Model Engineer plans.
"Topsy" : 0.3 cm3 diesel engine, plan of G. Hugh.
"Etheromane" 1.9 cm3 diesel from the plan of Gems Suzor (the only true runner in fact !).

hot air engine
flame gulper from a popular science plan.
flame gulper own design, scratch built with a "poppin" like valve, 2 engines, fast runner.
Stirling engine from popular science plan.
Stirling engine from the plan "Fizgig" by FC Collins, 2 engines with minor differences, a great plan.

Tsk.   Tsk.   Tsk.

Page 2 and not an Alyn foundry engine listed ! Here's my " probably " biased list.   :)

Penultimate gas engine.
Retlas.
Sphinx, in Oil Spirit and Gas.  ( 3 separate engines )
R.L.E. In both air and water cooled format.
Colt, in both tank and hopper cooled format.
A&T engine, Vincent's rendition from a picture in American gas engines book.
R.L.E. Dragsaw.
Robinson type " X " half scale.
Gardner type " 0 " half scale.
Robinson No 4 half scale hot air engine.
A.L.F. Own design rotary valve flame gulper.
A.L.F. Own design non charging two stroke gas engine.
Nattie. 1/6 th scale National gas engine company flame gulper.
Hornsby Akroyd, 1/4 scale of engine number 192.
I.F. Allman, 1/2 scale from original 1890 patent drawings.
CHUK 1
CHUK 2
CHUK 3. Own design flame gulper's.

And finally...... Probably the largest casting kit ever??
An 1890's  A&S Barker 1 HP town gas engine built from original castings recovered from the basement of the Uppingham school.

Cheers Graham.

Ok,
I do have a couple to add. I don't think I've seen these yet.

Hamilton Upshur based vertical single. Modified to give more cooling, and ball bearing crank & cam shafts with a 3 piece crank case.

Brian Fairey based VAL. Once again given more cooling and matching square cylinder. Using a two piece crank but otherwise mainly built to prints.
Considering what to build next?

ML Midge, 1 off completed by me, plus most bits for another 4
Sugden Special, 2 off
Nalon Viper Mk 1
Nalon Viper Mk 2

Work in Progress
Elfin 1.49 2 off with cast crankcase
Elfin 1.49 1 off with billet crankcase.
Nalon Viper Mk 3, hypothetical, based on Mk1, but with one piece crankcase
MegaMidge 2.5cc, based on Mark Lubbock ML Midge x 150%.  Drawings show side port at the moment but I am thinking about a rear rotary valve one......

I do more drawing and thinking than machining!!
cheers
Bill

Some of the members here are quite prolific!
I haven't built a lot of engines, but it seems like it because they take so long!

    Upshur Farm Engine (IC)
    Elmer's Standby (air)
    Elmer's Opposed (air)
    Martin Models 1/4 scale Gade Hit and Miss Engine (From Castings)
    Jan Ridders Debbie 2 Stroke Engine (IC)
    Chuck Fellows Air Powered Hit and Miss Engine
    Lucy Acrylic Air Engine

Hopefully, when I retire the list will become longer.

There are some very impressive lists posted here.  My list is quite short, but I hope to grow it over the next few years.  I hope that more pictures will be added.

(2). Thayer School Stirling Engines
Stuart D10 with reversing
Stuart 10H
Stuart 5A*.

*The 5A build was started by my father shortly before retiring in 1982.  A few castings were from Stuart, the rest was designed and fabricated by my father.  Age caught up with him and many mistakes were made in both design and machining.  He gave up on the engine in 1990 and gave it to me in 2010.  It sat in pieces until 2020 when I decided that it was time to either finish it or scrap it.  Most parts had to be repaired or replaced and the cross head, standard, pump, base and bearings had to be redesigned, (my father had warned me that these parts were not well though out).  The resulting engine is something that I treasure.  We didn’t have many father and son projects.  I wish that he could have seen it run.

I don’t care much for blue engines, but it was my fathers favorite color and he had already painted some parts a light blue.  The dark blue is my compromise.

The Reeves Unicorn and Stuart 7 were machined and built by my father.  He also built the ship model which I recently restored.  He was highly skilled.
