Title: Ransome & May Mill engine
Post by: JR72 on July 03, 2018, 05:19:41 PM

Hi
I am thinking of having a go at building the Ransome  & May horizontal mill engine obtainable from Hemmingway. I can not find any details of anyone building this engine and wondered as there has been quite a few comments on the quality of castings lately if anyone had any experience with this set of castings. Any advice or comments will be gratefully received.

Many thanks

JR72

There is a member who seldom posts who has made this engine so not sure if you will get a reply from him, it is his engine in the photos and video on Hemmingways site as are most of the other external combustion engines.

Sadly we have not yet seen a build of this model on the forum but we would like to  8)

If you would like to start a thread on the build and need any help I am sure the members would be happy to help  :)
