Dodi

[lazylathe]

So the rocker is in pieces at the moment undergoing surgery and a total rebuild once i get some more brass stock...

So i thought...Why let the machines wait!
They need to be fed!!!

So i have started a new steam engine named "Dodi"
Comes from a book called "Home made steam engines. Volume 1 - The Wobblers"

I will be posting some progress pics soon!

I also did a search and could not find any pics of it on the net.
Not sure about posting the plans and a pic of the engine...
If i can will someone please let me know, it looks like quite an interesting little guy!

Stands about 6 inches tall and almost 2 inches square.

I don't think you can be hanged for posting a picture of it, as long as you don't post the plans.---Brian

If you do post the picture, do the author the courtesy of crediting the photo to him. It would be nice to see it. Especially with a name like "Dodi"..

Lazylathe:
There is a locked sticky thread in the plans area titled copyright notice. This gives the boards guidlines on the the subject of posting copy written material.
below is a brief excerpt

A portion for illustration purposes or review are OK but not major sections of a work or an entire work.

and like dean said give credit where credit is due and let folks know where the plans come from and how to get them.

Just wanted to make sure i would not get blasted for anything!

I will scan a pic of it and post it up soon!

The book is:
Home Made Steam Engines by Edward G. Warren.
It is available from "Camelback Press" an EBay store.
Here is a link to his store: http://stores.shop.ebay.com/Camelback-Press__W0QQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_ipgZQQ_sasiZ1
Full of stuff for those crazy about locomotives!

Here are the pics!!!
Finally...Had to reinstall the printer/scanner drivers for some reason.... :-\

The pics are small and from the book mentioned above.

Will post some pics of the progress so far.
Had to put it on hold for a while. A friend needed some things turned for his woodworking shop.

Looks kinda neat, Andrew. Not your everyday oscillator. The open columns kind of dress it up.
Hope you have fun with the build!

Hey that's neat. I've got the plans for the Elmer #25. After looking at this I have some ideas how to 'personalize' my Elmer. I'm just waiting for some brass to arrive by the big brown parcel smasher...
