Nicely done on the Holt. You don't see many of them finished. I have a couple of questions for you. What did you use for a carburetor and is your governor functional?
I would like to make a suggestion which will help keep your wooden box and skids a little cleaner. I made up a couple of drip trays from brass that lay across the skids and are held in by place by the mounting plates. I made my engine to fairly tight tolerances but even still while it's running and the oil warms up it weeps out of the lifters, rear main bearing and front gear box assembly.

Do you have any videos of it running?

This is a sign of true craftsmanship. I have the castings but not the time now and I would love for mine to look as great as yours when done! brian

Seeing how wonderful the Holt looks make me wish to build one more and more. I have found a set of castings for sale in the US, but the owner will not ship international, and I can understand why. Can anyone on here recomend a method of shipping, maybe to someone in the US who will then ship international to me. Tough call, I would pay all costs, and some financial reward, or free tickets to the Great Dorset Steam Fair, in the UK,

Happy Christmas to all on HMEM,

Cheers,

Colin
