Maudslay vertical twin

[Thorsten Steinberg]

Hi all,
after many many hours I got my project finished (almost). I used plans supplied by Julius, who converted them into metric and adapted size to fit my 240 mm Optimum lathe. Milling was done on my DIY 3 (4) axles portal milling machine (ver. 3). But see for yourself. I haven't applied pressure yet, but you can crank it by hand and the governor works too. After a flame eater and a beam engine this is my third project, if you don't count my 1973 BMW 2002tii
and all the things I did in the 70s, before I had family and started to work worldwide.
I am a retired Geologist, living in Germany

Hi John,
thank you so much for your encouraging words!
Maybe you'll find some more for this double sided beam engine that I just finished. Close to the design by Bob Middleton/ metric: Julius DeWaal.
