Hit & Miss Solehoid Engine

[flyingtractors1]

I built two versions of this hit and miss solenoid engine. One may be underpowered, and the other may be overdone--just for fun! lol Rof}

Very nice and well done solenoid engine's. I like the little touch on the 2nd one with the wheel chocks and the hand crank to get it started. Little things like that take it to the next level. Thanks for sharing them with us. :bow: :bow:

Merry Christmas

Cheers

Those two are real beauties.

Speaking of plans ... any available?

Have a great New Year.

I particularly like the little hammer. Most of my engines could use such an "adjustment" tool from time to time!

Thanks guys. Yes, the hammer comes in handy when this old mule decides to get a little stubborn. And sorry - no, I haven't drawn up any plans since I tend to create as I go along fitting one part to another then building a subsequent part to fit. That is to say, " I generally make it up as I go along ", and sometimes an engine (or something else) results. I could, and should go back and sketch something up and take pictures to share and so that I can more easily trouble shoot 'em when they quit working. I'll try to do that.
