Stuart Score mostly scratch built

[geoff5269]

Just finished the latest of the group of small stuart engines and this time i just bought the casting that i couldn't build myself and added a few changes of my own. I have finally worked out how to bore the sole plate accurately by mounting it on a fixture and boring on the Mill where i can remove it to check the centering and then make small adjustments if necessary. The final challenge was fitting the inlet pipes 
and elbows. I like twin cylinder engines as they start easily and run slow  .<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOi3fR_XbRg" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOi3fR_XbRg</a>

Very well done, a great runner!       I love the way it just ticks over nice and slow.

Great colour scheme - looks amazing 

And as Chris mentions - great runner

Very beautiful! The coloring also goes well with the wood paneling of the cylinders.
Is the black base also made of cast iron?
The machine base is original Stuart.

I like this finely made and well presented engine very much.  The running at a slow speed is very nice, an appealing model .  Dave

Thanks for encouraging comments guys, in answer to Michaels question the Base is a aluminium casting which i bought on Ebay because it was a bit different and lighter, they are still for sale and they have other items. search for "base casting" by cringlemodelengineering. I also include a picture of my setup for boring the soleplate.
