A superb example of this engine - I built the smaller version last year, but it doesn't shine like yours!

Good luck with the Over-crank engine.

Kind regards

My thanks to you all for those very kind words guys, just the shot of motivation I need to get on with the next project, which is a bit above my pay grade to put it mildly.

Special thanks to Brian for his detailed plans without which this beam engine would never have even have got started.

In reply to George, I am going to get really ambitious and have a go at Stew’s over-crank engine, which I just love. The deciding factor in taking on this complicated task, was a comment made by John (Bogstandard) on this forum, which was in essence.
“Just make it one part at a time” and get it right. Thanks for that John I will certainly try.

I think you've misrepresented this post, there's nothing 'novice' about your beam engine at all. I'm sure that going to take pride of place in the house for some years to come.

I subscribe to John's "eating an elephant" approach, projects don't look so daunting doing it that way

What a lovely engine Lesmo,
Somehow I had missed the build log,
but after seeing the finished project, I found the build log and thoroughly enjoyed reading it from "cover to cover".

Sorry for the late response been busy on some other unrelated project, but thanks Pete & Clive for your kind comments, I had my first taste of the elephant sandwich yesterday evening and it was not too bad at all.

Cheers Les
