Sold!

This'd would make a great stocking stuffer... You know, of you had a carbon fiber mesh stocking...

Bump

Just for kicks & grins, what's the address, I'd like to see what shipping would cost.

Thanks, MrMetric, and thanks... You are correct... I neglected to add a location. Since I can't edit the original post. I'll respond here. The model is in Estes Park, Colorado, USA. I don't know of any drawings for it... If I had drawings, I'd probably be able to finish it. I'd have to...

OK... $400, & I'll cover half the shipping. I hate for it to just sit, but I won't go any lower than that. I have more pics, just ask. Thanks! Chris

I'm never going to get to finishing this, and I'm not good enough at pulling levers on my mill & lathe to do it justice anyway. I bought this from an antique engine FB page around 3 years ago. I was told it came from the estate of a model engine machinist, but I don't know that person's name...

I like it.... I could watch it for hours, too. Can somebody point me in the direction of the plans for it? Thanks, Chris

All done... Turns out Gary has an issue with the email on his web site, so he called me and I'm all set... I've got 4 flywheels on the way. I hope I don't screw 'em up! Chris

I have scrounged flywheels off of NodicTrack skiers, a NordicTrack un-powered tread mill, and a couple exercise bikes, but they are all too big for this project. I do keep a look out for free or cheap stuff that may have flywheels. I'll order a few flywheels from Martin Model... They're...

Between Speedy, McMaster, and Online Metals, Speedy had the best over-all pricing. Hobby Metal Kits had good pricing on a few of the things I'm after, but not enough to warrant separate shipping. Boy, prices sure add up quick when you don't have a lot of metal in stock to pull from! The...
