Hi from Bristol uk .This is the first internet group I've joined I have been a member of Bristol S.M.E.E for a few years and up until now I have been building stationary steam engines. I have jest finished my first IC engine a water cooled Redwing built from PM research castings. I have now started a Gardner 0 gas engine so if anyone else has built one I would be pleased to hear from them.

Welcome to the site. I'm just down the road from you (Westbury, Wiltshire)

Thanks for the welcome . I'll stick some photos up as soon as I get used to navigating around the site. At the moment The Gardner is only the base with flywheel fitted and the Red Wing is running with a car ignition lash up while I wait delivery of a buzz coil ignition.

Hi ikb and welcome to the forum

I'm even closer to you, just down the road in fact, Dursley, By Aussie or Canadian standards I'd be your next door neighbour.

I like your user name, very well known initials in Bristol. He knew a thing or two about Engineering.

Regards Mark

We love horizontal engines & compressors. During my technical college days did lab reports on a Ruston Oil
Engine. Worked on Ingersoll-Rand ESH Horizontal Compresors. Was not given a chance to work Gas Compressor cum Natural Gas Engine------The IR Model KVS and KVH. These were sold to Indonesia to pump natural gas using same as fuel.

Welcome! My wife and I were across the pond a few weeks back and attended a model show as guests of Forest Classics in the UK and it was great!

I was disappointed we weren't able to stay for the large Dorset steam festival but alas I had to come back to the states (Ohio) and go back to work.
