    775 Motor Based Dynamo

    A quick little project that was prompted by a couple of threads on ME Forum where a member was having problems with a Stuart Dynamo where the field blocks were not cast centrally and the magnet a bit weak. I decided to see if I could make something similar. So it's about the same size as the...

    Jekyll's Pendulous Engine c 1870

    I first became aware of this engine when I saw it listed in a Bonham's auction and saved the photos and description. A few years later I have finally got round to making it. The original large model has a bore of 1.5" and stroke of 4.5" I scaled it to suit a flywheel of 200mm diameter as that...

    Alyn Foundry "RLE" Engine

    Another notch on the workshop wall. Still needs slowing down and the pick up after the governor latches out is stuttering too much but happy with how it has turned out.

    Clarkson Horizontal Redefined in Metric

    Having felt for a long time that anyone looking for their first casting kit will get lead down the imperial route even though it may not be familiar to them I decided to redraw the Clarkson 1″ x 1.5″ Horizontal in metric and while I was about it sort out the few anomalies and missing details...

    Gassie - National Gas Engine

    It has been a while since I posted a build thread here but thought I may as well show one. It all started when I said in another thread about Nattie*. "Could not help thinking while I was running this that it would be fun to see if the cylinder could be sleeved to form a water jacket, gears...

    The latest issue of MiM dropped on the mat today and I thought I would just take a look at the website of one of the small adverts in the mag for www.steamofsteel.de and found that they are now producing casting sets for the many steam engine models that I have seen over the years originally...

    What Fillament, wall thickness and Fill Percentage for Patterns

    Can I ask what Fillament people are using for their patterns as well as the wall thickness and percentage of fill. These are for patterns that will be sent to a foundry so may not be handled quite as gently as ones cast at home. Sand will be Airset. Castings upto about 2.5kg (5lbs) in iron...

    James Coombes but not as you know him

    This is my recently completed version of the Stuart James Coombes, I just used a Stuart Cylinder casting and fabricated or cut the rest from solid and it was at least twice the fun for half the price. I went with the same Ford Ivory that I used on the Real and painted a stone effect onto the...

    My Little Donkey

    As I showed some of the design stages of this engine that I have just finished in the "3D cad Sequence" thread I thought I should post a couple of images and a video here I first saw one of these engines on e-bay 3-4 years ago, liked the look of it so copied the images to my "Future Projects"...

    A Lightweight Husky
