Marvellous work. That's art! I guess that, togheter with the Holt Engine, these are the most impressive model engine to look!

That's really a great idea, and wonderfull building. Moreover I'd say that the Wabeco D6000 is one of the best lathe around, at this dimension! The one I'm planning to buy too. Debian

Each time gbritnell starts the construction of a new engine... soon or late the world of model engineers earns another star in its firmament. A simple "well done" means nothing... but thank You very much for sharing such a great skill and passion. Hope to see soon a video of this new... monster...

Welcome Marcello, I live in Turin too, but even if'm reading this marvellous forum since about 2 years... I still haven't found the time to set up my shop as I would. Right now I'm planning to buy a Ceriani or Wabeco lathe and mill. Btw I didn't completely lost my time and I buyed some plans to...

Ciao Davide, welcome! looks like now, with Paolo and Ariz, we're 4 italians on this forum (It's about two years I read every post and still didn't bought my machines!!!) ! this is for sure the best resource on the net for model engineering. Hope You'll show Your model engines soon here! Paolo

Could someone please explain what "drill rod" is? I didn't found it in any dictionary english-italian, for sure a kind of steel but... which? Thanks

Hallo Didier from Turin (Italy), I've just bought the Howell's plans of the V4, V-Twin and of the Farm Boy, I really love his models. Only that, I still didn't buy the lathe and the mill!!! eh eh, I'm waiting for better temepratures in my box, I'll order my first machine in march (I think a...

Because Mrs. Margaret Shores can just accept international money order, and doesn't exist this metod from Italy to U.S.A., I'm looking for someone who wants to sell his copy, I can pay by paypal. Thank You very much Paolo

Excuse me if I'm a little off topic, btw, You spoke about drill press, if a vertical mill is owned, is really so important to have also a drill press? maybe is better to use the mill for all the milling operation (involving lateral cutting) and the drill press for tap and general holes that...

Mr. Britnell... what can I say, I just finished reading all the sherline's museum page You linked, and I have no words! didn't imagine You built so many others great models other the ones I saw here. In Italy we say "sei un mito, sei un grande" (You're a legend, a big) and now You also have your...

Hey dudes! never mind and take Your time, I'm sure everyone here would like to give some help. I really hope You can use some automatic method of recovering and reconstruct the database, can't really imagine You have to reassemble each post one by one! I think this is the best "model...

Well Blogs, I would never start a polemic with You, because I learned to love this hobby thanks to Your posts, when You were not just a witch ;) (just take a look here, I wrote that 1 year ago): http://www.homemodelenginemachinist.com/index.php?topic=3480.0 For sure Your mill is much better...

Looks like the first to be overpriced is that uk vendor, the lathe is 33% and the mill is 45% more expensive than in Italy. For sure the mill is anyway too expensive, but You buy an original italian made machine, and not simply a clone or something from Cina.

So You decided for the best choice, eh? great Paolo!!! :bow: I'm sure You'll never regret it! Waiting with Ariz for a photograpic report, even of the BF-20, of course! Paolo p.s.: goditi il momento dell'attesa ;D

Hi Frank, many many compliment for this great engine, and thanks for showing :bow: If it's possible I would like to know what kinda machines You used (cnc mill and lathe) and if You can say where is possible to buy the plans, maybe an old issue of a magazine? thanks so much. I really hope to see...
