I was wondering if this might be an interesting topic for some of you. Not everybody has moved into 3D design & many of you still use 2D & have a lot of experience in it, be it ACAD, Draftsight, ETC. I would like to start this thread off by saying that I personally don't want to hear "How you...

Here are the plans I've created for the Birmingham "Dribbler" locomotive. See Birmingham Dribbler - Wikipedia This little engine was originally offered as a "Toy" in the late 1800's & reproduced years later. I take no credit for the design & re-created the entire engine from pictures on the...

I'm designing a burner tray for my "Dribbler" loco & was wondering if someone could give me the sizes of the "Solid Fuel" (Esbit, Meta", other) tablets that are available (Length, width, height). A quick look at the Esbit website shows me 3 sizes available: 14, 5, & 4 grams, but no dim's/sizes...

a lot of interest of this crazy little engine lately. I have a copy of his hand drawn plans & build notes that were purchased years ago & have redrawn them in CAD for my own benefit of learning my CAD software, this was 6 or 7 years ago. I have not built the engine but am wondering if others...

I've been playing around with the design of a "Diagonal" engine & this is what I have come up with so far... I wanted something that was fairly "simple" to build & relatively small, I chose Elmers #41 Factory engine as the basis for the design. Elmers engines are pretty straight forward...

After doing drawings for the single cylinder Maudslay, it was inevitable that a twin cylinder version would be next. By the time the drawings were finished for the single, I had already had the initial drawings of the twin complete & Chuck had a chance to have a look at them. For those...

Thanks very much to Chuck Fellows for this engine design, & thank you "Radfordc" for creating the original drawings of this engine, & all the other members here who contributed to Chucks build, your help made all this come together. Only fitting that a "Green" engine be shown here today on St...
