Borderer Piston valve version

<< < (15/15)

stevendavis:
Really nice work so far!

Team ricky:
Cheers chaps ;)

I’ve really enjoyed my first engine !!

I think I’m going to start a cast iron version of the Borderer, I like the design and the looks and with care they can look very tidy indeed!

So the plan will be all parts made not cast , Block , valve chests covers, trunks, cylinder covers, base all cast iron , Then mild steel for rods, crank, eccentric

I guess bronze pistons and stainless rods

Bronze cross heads and bearings

Should look a bit more scale in cast iron and wood cladding ;)
Oh and slide valve for this one as it won’t be fitted to a boat just on display
