James Booth 1843 Rectilinear Engine - Orphan

Jo:
A quick update on this engine: actually assembling it is a nightmare and that is before you get it to turn over  :-[

A couple of pictures of where it is sitting attached. If you want a model engine build to discourage you from making further model engines this is it  :toilet_claw:  :disappointed: I'm going into negotiations for something easier that my fogged brain can cope with better.

It's looking nice though Jo.

I seem to remember Anthony mentioning something in the articles that it was not an easy one to "turn over" by the usual spinning the flywheel as it tended to twist all the crankshaft components :'( which make sit a lot harder to track down any tight spots.

Hope you are allowed something that will see you back making swarf again :)

RReid:
That is a lovely thing, Jo. Stiff upper lip and all that, you'll get there. :ThumbsUp: :praise2:

Kim:
Wow! It is pretty, that's for sure.  And a LOT of little studs and nuts!  That's enough to drive anyone mad!    :ThumbsUp: :popcorn:

Admiral_dk:
That is a shame - considering how beautiful your parts are looking - but I do understand about frustrations and the need to sometimes get away from them  :ThumbsUp:

You gave it a good shot Jo  :cheers:
