Greg - Narangba Queensland Australia
« on: June 08, 2022, 05:36:19 AM »
Hello, I am pleased to join the group.

I have gone back to making engines about a year ago. I am currently building a flame licker I have attached a picture of the part finished engine. I am fortunate to be a member of the The North Pine Trades which  has a workshop and foundry.
I first got into model engineering about 40 years ago, I had built a miniature wobbler engine that used a thimble for a boiler and was working on a steam paddle engine and a Mastiff ic engine which I had about 1/3 built. unfortunately these were left behind due to an unplanned family move. As I have dug up my old plans for the Mastiff I am looking at it for my next project

Regards Greg

Hi Greg, welcome to the forum from another Aussie.  Lots of friendly like minded folk here.

Looking forward to more progress on the flame licker and whatever is beyond.
