WOW, JUST WOW !!! th_confused0052 I've seen smaller models (5/7/9 cylinders), but haven't seen a running 18-cylinder. None of us are worthy !!! :bow: :bow: Mike

Very very nice !! Think that's the 1st time I've seen your V-8 complete !! Congrats !:)

WOW !! These pictures are absolutely incredible !! They all show amazing work going on to build marine steam engines. I wonder if all these photos are from the same factory ? Kind of doubt it now that I think about it. Interesting to see both both late model steam triple-expansion...

Wonderful model !

For someone "winging" it, you are doing a pretty darn good job !! Love the fact you're using Sherline equipment for all of this :) Interesting and different setups I would not have thought of !! :bow: Mike

WOW !! :bow: Agree with everyone else, it'd be a shame to see your beautiful engine lost to time. It should be preserved in some place that others can see your outstanding craftsmanship !! The Sherline Internet Craftsmanship Museum would be a great place for your engine...
