Congratulations on a superb build, and well deserved recognition.

Great to log on and see one of your engines featured as Project of the Month.

#25, #19, #37 (Star of the show) and #2, What next?

Kind regards

Excellent engine, congratulations on the well deserved honor!
 
Congratulations on the project of the month. Funny thing, when I was on my desktop computer earlier today, your engine was next to the banner, but on my ipad, it still has the previous months picture.

Great looking engine weez, well deserved.
 
Thank you everyone for the compliments and kind words. I am very proud of this engine but I was surprised to be picked for project of the month. I have not started my next engine yet because I have some household projects that need to get done first. I seem to get engrossed in engine building and start putting off other things that need to be done. I'm sure I am the only one here with that problem.;) Geoff, I am pretty sure my next engine will be Elmer's Comber Rotary Engine.
 
Steve,
It's there. You are probably displaying an image from your cache. If you are using Firefox right click to the right of the photo and click reload.

Great looking engine, Congrats!!

How come it's not at the top of the home page.

Steve, Thanks for the compliment. Are you by chance using an IPAD?

Nice work weez.. Glancing at the cylinder and valve chest inspired me to get offa me date,and finish my 1/16 stothert and pitt beamer..Again, nice job mate
 
Weeze,
Nice job!
I have one small critique which is minor but it always bugs me. Phillips head screws were first used around 1940 (correct me if I'm wrong) and just never looked correct on a steam engine.
I'd like to know what others think about this.
Respectfully,
GM
 
I like it. Nice one Weez

Pete
