Very nice photos. I'm amazed that you could find all this stuff. I'm particularly interested in these Corliss'.Check out the row of Mesta Corliss engines on the assembly floor.

What a massive place that was.

When you say you started on this, do yhou mean drawings?There are several Stuart designs, some like the Sirius are currently available. The Sun and Star were also popular and then there is the less well known MTB range of about six engines.
I did start work on a Stuart S-Type which was an actual high speed engine (not model) used on gen sets but interst wained so it has not got far beyond the drawing stage.
I think most of us liek to see what is going on rather than have it hidden away![]()
This looks do-able. I found that Graham has a book (or two) but not available in this country. At least not easy to find. Do you know if there are any plans available?Also if you want a more modern twist on the Stuart twin enclosed engines, these by Graham Meek are rather nice. Fabricated/cut from solid
