Stuart Victoria

Thanks for the comments

Chris, I was in two minds whether to mount the cylinder on it's side and do away with all the extra linkages but in the end stuck with the Stuart layout which as you say does add a bit more interest visually.

If anyone does buy Ron's castings keep a look out for the build thread of this which will have drawings for the parts that will not fit if built to Stuarts drawings or the ones in both editions of the book.

It is a super engine - really enjoyed watching the videos.

Is the build thread you mention one you are going to publish, or does it already exists somewhere?

I've not started it yet, may just be on ME forum but waiting for their new software to go live so I can attach pdf drawings to the thread. As the casting set was donated by a member of that forum I it should be exclusive to there. but will post a link when it's up and running and may also put drawings into my Dropbox account.

Great - thank you. I will definitely pay attention to that.
