Living only twenty miles or so from Silloth Cumbria the home of Carrs flour mill I didn't know about the Mill's museum, being there today for a vintage rally I spotted the signs for the museum so had a visit.
It made my day seeing the persevered mill engine although it's not in steam it is working, next time I will take my video cam.

Very good looking engine. Appears to be a cam operated valve system of some sort?
-
Yes I missed out this picture of the cam shaft.

Very interesting! That would make an interesting variant on the usual eccentric on the crankshaft to model.
We need to send Julius there with a tape measure and a laptop...!

Wow, that is quite a beast of an engine. Thanks for sharing the pictures MIke!!

DMC do plans for a similar arrangement,same basic set up just the trunk guide / bearing pedestal that is different really. You see quite a few of this type of engine modeled in Germany.

Thanks again for the link to DMC - I found they had a nice set of plans for a Stanley steam car, they arrived today, very nice plans. Ordering was complicated since they only take a bank transfer, but it was worth it.
