First...thanks for the reply on my question.

Secondly...wonderful work! At 2:30 there was an audible gasp from me...the slow smooth running, and the sound,....very very nice. Thanks.
Great ride too.

As Zee said,
I too am impressed by how low the RPMs get and how smooth it runs. :bow: :bow: :bow:

Metal Butcher,

which engine is depicted in your avatar? Is it one of Elmer's?

I like the way your builds seem to have an "art deco" feel. Nicely done once again.

Yes, that's my modified version of Elmer's #11 Radial.

Took me a while to hunt down the thread. It started out in the "Questions and answers section on page 26.

It's a really nice model to build.

I just remembered that the engine was also posted in "Pictures and videos.

MB, thanks for posting the build. I've been trying to decide on my second engine and your posts helped me to make up my mind, #44 it is. My first engine with a steam chest, it'll be fun.

You will love building it. Its much nicer in real life than the poor quality photos on the scanned copies of the plan.

I look forward to seeing your progress!

MB,

Don't quite know how I missed this build, might have something to do with relocating and being off the air for too long - In any event please accept my apologies. :bow:

Wonderful job and a really terrific runner - Congratulations. :bow: :bow:

Best Regards
Bob
