A farme diesel plans?

Will916691 · Sep 11, 2015

I'm used to model engines but not to machining I was a machinist before I was injured

I'm look for model diesel plan's to make me and my father each one. I don't mind paying for design but I can't seem to find any that aren't model airplane motors
Any help locating plans would be appreciated

Thanks
Will

Hello-

You are in luck if you want to make a scale model version of the old Lister vertical, stationary diesel engine (single cylinder).

Contact a gent named Eric Hale ([email protected]) also on Facebook "Lister CS 6/1 Model Diesel Engine"

He has plans/kits. Plans 30 pounds/free pdfs.... if you purchase the casting kit.

PS...I also believe that there are postings showing the building of this model on the "Model Engine Maker" forum, and a serialized build can be found in the "Model Engineer" magazine.

Hope this helps, and good luck with your engine-building endeavors.

sorry i should have also said i would like to build with out castings i have access to cnc mills. also looking for something on one small side as my lathe is a 7x10

Just use the drawings and make the crankcase, and various other parts from bar-stock, flat stock, and weldments. The dimensions, and relationships of the various parts are what's critical. I would think with your experience, and access to machines, it will not be too much of a problem.

Good luck. Let us know if you find something that fits your needs.

This one was done from the drawings without castings, waterjet cut parts for the crancase welded up but could be CNC cut

What water jet did you use? I worked at omax straight out of college machine shop making parts for water jets

Also on your build on page 4 there is a video "true diesel engine" that is what I want to build a a frame that looks like it would have been made in the 1890s

Your engine is looking good I like you idea of building it with flat stock and welding it up

Also to get my feet wet I started the "tiny ic engine" looks like a fun build I'm going to make a few changes to the design as I go such as I really don't see a need to use drill rod for the valves I'm going to use 4140 heat treated instead anyone see a reason why this wouldn't work?

Thanks
Will
