Not an engine, just parts

[precisionmetal]

Sorry... not a cool video of a running engine, or even a still photo of one. That will hopefully happen in the future.

A set of 64DP 20°PA gears I just cut for a ¼-scale engine project a friend is working on. All cut from heat treated A2 on my wire edm machine.

And very nice gears they are too! Well done!
