Hello all, I hope you enjoy this video of my (almost finished) beam engine. I started this way back in December 2010, had a fire in my shop which put it on the back burner (pun intended) for at least 6 months, and since then I have been in the progress of making a few engines. In this vid you...

http://www.oldmodels.co.uk/ Evening gents. While on the browse looking for a new job, I came upon an engineering firm that made a model for OMC. (Old Model Company). I thought some of you might be interested to look at their (OMC) web-site for some ideas etc. I'm thinking of contacting this...

Hi gents, This is something I started In December 2100, that came to a halt for about 6 months after a fire in the cave, and started again on and off until the last couple of months when I felt more at ease into committing myself. (Also, I'd lost interest for a long while because of the fire)...

So, anyone who has the nerve to upset the "great" egotist, know it all Marv, and who disarees and posts someting that "God" doesn't like, is banned or suspended for 30 days? He is a newbie for gods sake man. Give him a PM and don't make it so public. A lot of your postings are, to put it...

Wonder if any of you gents might be interested in seeing this site. Some nice exhibits/ engines on show...

Hello, I hope/think some of you might be interested in these short videos taken today. Sorry for no info, apart from the big steamer being a Burrells. And about the shortness of the vids-new camera-thick user!! They were taken at a place called Robins Cook farm, Redhill, UK. And that is how...

Hello gents, My first attempt at a beam engine (and any sort of engine)! apart from a fancy wobbler also by Elmer. It's Elmers number 23 beam engine that I have made to double size. Not running at the best yet but that is because it's still to be finished i,e flywheel, rads/corners smoothed out...

Hi gents, I have recently completed Elmers #24 Beam Engine (apart from some tarting up, rough edges etc and spray-painting, maybe a teenie bit of bling!) but I am having no joy in getting it to run. It is doubled up in size and I know that I have made the parts to the correct dimensions. When...

Hi all from a proud and happy dad! ;D Good things do happen and I thought I would share mine from this week; First, I applied for a new job on Friday last week, had an interview this Wednesday, but while during this interview I was told that there were a good half-a -dozen applicants for it...

Why is it that you know the parts are correct but yet you have this nagging doubt? scratch.gif Why is it that you double check and check again, and you still believe they are correct, yet the doubt is still there? :-\ Why is it that your brain thinks they are correct but at the same time telling...

Hello Gents, I thought some of you may be interested (if only a little bit) as to where I used to work, the machine I used to use there and the end product! The machine is a Swiss made m/c called a Studer S30 LeanPro. Three spindle, three axis grinder, and cost new around £350.000. They also...

Gents, I hope I have this download lark sorted and the pics show here. Anyways, a trial run showing my retreat. Will add more later. Regards, Ron.

Gentlemen, As a few of you may recall, I had a slight mishap in my garage a few months ago - namely, a little fire caused by throwing some old batteries away in a plastic sack. Never, ever do this yourselves!! It's bloody painful :( Anyway, it's now about time I started to show you my results...

Hi gentlemen, I joined this site a few months ago and posted a few pics of my new machines and part of my garage i,e; shop. Since then I took voluntary redundancy from work on the 10th of December. (I worked in Formula 1 for the McLaren racing team for 14 years and for the past couple of years...

Hi all, As the header say's, here is one happy newbie! I made my intro in the welcome section saying that I had an order for some new machinery. Well, it came at 8.45am this morning! A brief description of them and hopefully some pics: Axminster SIEG SC6 Super-metal lathe; Ditto Ax SIEG Super...
