Wow burrell, have you made that from the ground up? Im in awe, the skills to make a proper working engine such as that are incredible. Good post.

I will always be a big kid, got aload of britains farm machienery models and stuff in a display cabinet. I keep going to put them away as they take up to much room but can never bring myself to do it... Spent about 10years collecting them.

i started with 2 side frames (5mm plate) bits of angle and a set of drawing and knowing nothing about building engines or machining but new quit alot about running steam engines and seting valves and valve gear etc. so thought i would take on a challange as i wanted some sort of steam engine of my own. i soon learnt made loads off mistakes at the start. the first big job where i really woried all the way form start to finish was the cyl blocks. but got there in the end runs on steam and very nearly finshed it

Have any of you lot actually ever kissed a girl?

 

Only joking. Top notch that lot. Love the idea of Andy and Charlieh subcontracting in a model forest on weekends. Priceless.
