I'm betting if it's in there you'll find it.

Don't know.....I'm sure someone will pipe in though.    Good thing it machines nice and I have some roughing endmills.

Hi everyone.  I am Ernie.  Today is my first day on this board.  I am looking for and 2 cylinder, 4 stroke IC model engine and judging by the drawings posted by Steamer, Wallaby seems to fit the bill.  More specific, the sectional side elevation showing the shape of the camshaft.  Am I correct in assuming that instead of reciprocating, both pistons are moving in the same directions in at the same time? 

[steamer]

Hi Ernie,

Yes it's a single plane 360 degree crank which results in an even firing order.   The plans are available from Model Engineer.  My castings came from our member Bezalel.

Here is something you don't see every day an original set of Wallaby castings in Bronze 

It confused me no end having a set of Loco Wheels in there until it was pointed out that the 1831 was the first Diesel Loco.

Now someone is trying to encourage me he has a couple of spare sets of castings for one 

Jo

[steamer]

Yes the one with the cored cylinder head in bronze is very early indeed!.....like during the original 1831 article period which was during the war.

Nice!....Need to get back into mine...but I have to stop getting up at 4 am to get ready for work....
