What you are showing and describing in this engine build, the casting, machining, the holding jigs and process involving very modern methods, is really remarkable, and at a pioneering end of model engineering. This will eventually be a most impressive and mighty model engine! Dave
That's high praise indeed! Thank you for the kind words. It's going to be a very long road but it seems doable so far.
That flywheel makes mine look like a baby at only a foot diameter.
That is such an impressive piece of work! I was actually going through your thread a while back to see how you were handling the rim segments. The details are fantastic.
I was reading this very interesting thread, and was scratching my head, saying "You know, there are not many machine shops that have an iron foundry in them".
I like to keep up with who is doing what iron casting, and where.
Then I looked at the angle iron on top the flasks.
I only know of one iron foundry that does that regularly.
This thread has a K.S.W. feel to it for sure; it can be no other.
Great design and castings !

Ha! I didn't realize it was that distinctive. Got it in one! That's hilarious.
