Maudslay Marine Steam Engine on .70 scale
« on: March 01, 2019, 04:48:18 PM »
Gentlemen,
Here is a video of the Maudslay running. I played with it for hours yesterday and could only get it to run on one stroke. I played with the valve position until I finally gave up. I went back to the drawings and found that the porting in the valve is too big and therefore it overlaps the porting in the cylinder by too much. This morning I made another new valve, which I wasn't looking forward to because the ports and slots are .031 diameter and width. When I finished the valve I put a register mark on the face so that I would know where the port location was and could more easily time the engine.
I have to finish the reversing valve mechanism but putting air into both ports allow the engine to run very smoothly in both directions. I hope Chuck gets a chance to visit and see his engine.

George,
You did a very good job on the Maudslay engine. And as I have come to expect from you, when you have a problem with it you are a top notch trouble shooter. :ThumbsUp: Runs great, fast slow or any point in between.

The engine is complete except it's going to need a base. Here's the video of the reversing valve working.
