If you want to build an ultra simple traction engine? My choice would be the Wells or Myfordboys you can see a full build on his youtube thingymabob and he sells the castings and gears at a reasonable price Camden Miniature Steam Services have just reprinted the Wells book and the finished...

Not at the moment its just a model G circa 1944 put back into civvy trim by Enfield in 1949 The Dynamo is the early mag/dyno set up .The dynamo is similar to the later one just a wee bit shorter maybe a bit of a lump for youre needs We used to use a 3phase alternator from a French car the make I...

The old GH-6 only gave 1.5 watts at 6v or that is what they claimed . The Prince of Darkness aka Lucas was slightly better but only just I seem to remember some playing with old stepper motors but have no idea what they got out of them Lucas used to make a nice sized 30 watt dynamo in the...

Electronic speed control on a small lathe with short duration may well be OK but I would be concerned about the motors cooling on a long job. CVT thought DAF did that in the 60s or at least I remember a few swearing lessons changing the belts Nothing new just reworked re badge re branded and...

He worked under Barns Wallace but who was the better engineer .Although the R100 may have had some influence on that matter Shute used his full name in engineering matters but left his last name out when writing as he thought it may undermine his engineering credibility Not well up on modern...

A nice boiler and for its purpose more than adequate Lets be honest if efficiency was a concern a simple pot boiler would not be my choice Steam dryers can be useful although simple oscillators run better on wet steam I doubt very much that many models reach super heated steam temps and if they...

Just use a nitrile ball saves all the hassle First use a steel ball of the same size give it a biff with a guided punch or just let a centre drill kiss the edge. The through hole is better reamed not drilled Ideally the seat is coned upwards so that in use any dirt falls away from the seat Iv...
