Hi Robert
 
Thank's for those words of encouragement Robert, the main reason I chose to have a go at this engine was watching its slow running capability in Stews video, a couple of years back. I just knew that I had to have one of my own.


Hi Achim

I am pleased that you like this engine. I think most people like to see model steam engines ticking over slowly, and I bet it would look so much better if it was running on steam. Maybe one of your German forum members will decide to build one powered by steam. If they do I sure would love to see it running.

Cheers Les

 That is an absolute peach!  Some beautiful modelling work there, tempted to have a go myself but you've set such a high standard would be difficult to follow.

Hi Les,
There's not much more that can be said but to repeat what the others have stated, excellent machining and finish. It's quite a unique engine and runs superbly.
Congratulations,

Hello,

I can’t see the video.
I have noticed this on a few posts recently.
Would anybody know the reason this is happening.
I am viewing on an iPad.
Thanks

Tony
