This was my first engine a basic Vacuum

[doc1955]

I fired up my first engine isn't real pretty but it runs good and was built about 35 years ago.
I spent yesterday at Rollag so I was still in the mood to watch and play with engines.
Next show I'm heading to is about 2 weeks away in New Rockford.

Lovely. I've always wanted to do a vacuum engine but always put it off as don't thinkI'm up to scratch to make one work yet.

Nice stirling design in your avatar, do you have any plans to make that?

I've done a stirling that i designed myself, very satisfying to watch.

I'm working on the designs for the stirling in my avatar in cad not happy with it yet.
Here is a motor I built when I decided I needed to brush up on my aluminum welding skills.
It was made from a bunch of small pieces and not machined the base was made from 6 or 7 pieces.
Once I finished the I made a twin to it.
