I will be watching this build with great interest. I have a real soft spot for steam cars, its such a great combination, cars + steam engines = perfect match. That seems to be a really nice chunk of CI you have there too.

Thats a really nice looking engine. :bow: Thanks for taking the time to share these pics with us.

Really nice work, great finish quality, love that shine ;D Has that first engine smile faded yet?

*sigh* Another set of his plans i need to get ;D Wonderful looking work as always, great demontration model too.

Great to see you got the mill and it all worked out OK. I know I am really enjoying working with mine, such a difference to the mini mill. I have been looking to fit a DRO so its really great to see your pictures of that too. I like the way you sorted out the Y axis tram too, simple and...

It seems everytime you post I get more amazed :o Another truly wonderful engine, and another one for the ever growing to-do list. I seem to learn by just reading your posts, I can only imagine what I would get out of actually getting round to building something.

Great engine, Looks like she runs really well too. Have you stopped smiling yet?

Really pretty engine, I like the column design. Really adds to the engine.

What a great looking build, really different, not a model I have seen before. Must make sure my wife doesnt see this, she loves anything pink. ::)

Thanks for the kind comments guys. Chuck, the plans are by Erik-Jan Stroetinga, I got them from here http://www.astronomiainumbria.org/advanced_internet_files/meccanica/easyweb.easynet.co.uk/_chrish/plans.htm not sure if there are posted there with permission though. The plans are in metric...

Pascal Really sorry to hear what has happened. I cannot even imagine what you are feeling right now. Forgetting where I left something is bad enough. Hope everything works out OK with insurance etc, and that the police find the little (too rude for words)...

Hi all, I was packing this engine tonight and took a couple of pictures and thought I would share with you all. This is a Christmas gift to my father, who is really the reason why I am an engineer in the first place. It is the EJS double acting wobbler, and is my second completed engine. It...

Simply, incredible. Hard to put it any other way really, such amazing work, and yes it is a great inspiration. Truly wonderful to see. One day, one day. I have to tell myself that or I may break down. ;)

Have to admit I have been going through the same thought process myself. Limited space means every machine has to be as useful as possible. So it would be great to get a machine that will do more than one thing. A belt sander that could be used on the odd wood project and to 'grind' tooling...

A really beautiful engine and great success in getting it running too. Don't know how but I have missed this thread up to now. Really interesting build thread with some really great and inspiring tips for new people like me. Thanks for taking the time to share.
