SEL Steam Launch Unit

(1/2) > >>

Jasonb:
Another Little one completed. This time it's a replica of the SEL "Steam Launch Unit" Actually made by Midland Models in the 1950s.



As usual redrawn in metric using Alibre with a bor eof 11mm and stroke of 13mm.



Made on manual machines. I won't go into build details as I will probably write this one up for ME&W.





Seems to run nicely, jump to about 1:40 if you don't want to hear it drumming on the bench!

I wear glasses, but I still have to look three times to distinguish the real object from the CAD simulation.

Excellent workmanship 👍

Very nice.

Is there a grub screw through one of those bosses on the flywheel or are they just decorative/filling up the space within the frame?
