Hi Julius, thanks i did indeed. I received them via "Wetransfer". Thanks really appreciate.

Now the graphite piston sounds clever to me. Definitely something that i would like to try, do you buy this as stock from a supplier, or can you salvage it from something redundant.

Thanks everybody for your advice and experience shared here. I have decided to make the piston out of good old cast iron. I have a nice piece of fine grain cast iron round bar that i will use. At a bore of 12.7 mm i will not attempt proper rings or even a o'ring. I will just machine a few oil...

Thanks, that is a nice table to work from.

Hi to you all. I'm in the very final stages of my Elmer Verburg no 29 engine. I need to machine the piston. I made the cylinder out of brass. I was thinking in the direction of making the piston out of cast iron. Not sure if this is a good combination, i must add that i doubt i will ever run it...

Hi Julius, it would be greatly appreciated if you could do a drawing on this engine. Scaled up by 2 is perfect, these things do get fiddly when so small. Kind regards Johan

Hi guys and girls, i recently saw a tiny little beam engine on youtube. It is made by Microcosm. My question is, does anyone have a drawing of this engine, it looks fairly simple, except the valving, I'm not exactly sure how that is done. Would any one have a drawing, even a rough sketch of this...

Hi guys and girls, i saw a miniature beam engine on youtube. It is a Microcosm M88 mini beam steam engine. These are for sale from Banggood etc, but it looks like a very simple engine to build. Obviously one needs a drawing, which i suspect was in anycase used from somebody without permission, I...

Beautiful boiler!

Absolutely impressive!!

I'm following Brian, I'm nearing the dreaded ring making process, and it seems daunting. Must admit i learned a lot already.

Same from me, very well done, i like the weathering part of the flywheel. Looks neat. Can't wait to see it running

Nice indeed.

Lovely little engine, here is mine. About my second engine built at the time. Enjoy it, i'm busy now with no 29 for a long time, quite a challenge.

My apologies, this should have been in the "general engine discussions"

Hi fellow model engineers, busy building a Bob Shores Little Angel engine after i shelved it for a couple of years as my skills were not up to it yet. So i'm giving it a go now again. Have the frame and cylinder machined and came to the point where i need to position/mount the cylinder to the...

Just my observation, the gears are plastic for a reason, similar to the Myford tufnol gears, If something went wrong it is suppose to act as a fuse to prevent other parts from damage.
