Hi everyone,
It's not finished yet, but most of the parts of my future V12 solenoid powered are now on my desk.
The six-in-line i showed here a few weeks ago is the base i worked on to make this new toy. Same solenoids, same cranckshaft, connecting rods, camshaft, micro-switches, gears...
The more known parts i use, the best it is to let a chance to make it start.
Here are some screen captures of the 3D model. Soon, the pictures of the real thing in assembling phase.

Hi Hagar,
Looking forward to seeing this build start going together.
Have a great day,

I must put in and set the compound crankshaft. A long and boring work to do. At the end there must be no resistance left. The holy graal is a perfectly free crankshaft.
As we say in France : crachons-nous dans les mains car il y a du pain sur la planche. ::)

excellent quality parts, looking great so far!

It runs... :zap:

I'm now working on a W18 version. :insane:

Hello Hagar,
Beautiful workmanship on all the parts and just a plain cool engine.
Have a great day,
Thomas

Very Nice

Thank you.
It's a poor thing, compare to those i've seen here. But i feel proud to be among the model engine makers.
And i'm still amazed to read comments from USA or any other lands so far from my home. ^-^

Wherever you are in the world, great work is great work, and this is a great engine!

The workmanship displayed in your engine is of the highest quality, Hagar. You're doing top notch work!

I like this engine a lot. I've been thinking about a multi-cylinder solenoid engine myself and you have not only provided an example, but set the bar high.
Congratulations on this one and I'll be watching if you post a build of the next one.

Sure i will !
It's a great interest, for me, to see how other engine builders do the same job. So please, create your own multi-solenoid engine. Better solutions are waiting to be found. :noidea:

Truly lovely work, Hagar. The fit and finish on your parts are really nice. Beautiful engine.

Thank you Chuck.
I hope the W18 i'm working on will run as well as this one.
