Good day all, Faced with the problem of making 6 pillars with equal length for the "Husky" engine I am building I came up with the idea shown in pics attached. I had tried something similar when making the "River Queen" using a split bush. That worked but not as well as this. Apologies if this...

Good day all, I recently posted the offer below on Model Boat Mayhem - no takers - so if anyone here can use some . . . Having, for a number of years, been involved in servicing digital readout equipment (much of it from the Chinese company Easson) I find I have accumulated a considerable...

Good day all, Having seen a recent thread querying info on the subject model, I found the manual containing the drawings and downloaded it. It seems to build into quite a nice project but a couple of the parts are not included with the package. The one, the hot cylinder, is not too much of a...

Good day all, I've been stooging around some old copies of Aeromodeller magazine (circa 1943/44). There is quite a lot of correspondence about L.H. Sparey's design for a 5/6cc. engine, including a GA drawing showing the concept. Does anyone out there know if he ever published the plans to make...

Good day all, Been lurking here for a long time while I got together the wherewithall to make something. After a couple of false starts I settled on the River Queen. Now I have been in engineering for !! years (censored to due extreme age) and I'm still trying to figure out how anybody could...

Hi all, I am just beginning to get into model engineering, presently half way through building a simple oscillating steam engine. I have a generic sort of Chinese centre lathe - swing over the bed 240mm. x 600mm. between centres. I have neither funds nor space for a milling machine and I am...
