YES... this engine is made from a set of casting that I bought years ago, started and then put away for at least 15 years while I helped raise 3 kids, run a business, (Pinting) persue other hobbies but I always liked fixing things. I started playing again a few years ago until my wife got ALS. As a full time caregiver I couldn't play or persue my hobbies. After she died this spring I went back to playing full time.

These particular casting set is of very poor quality, lots of extemely hard spots, but maybe thats why it was so cheap. It only came with sheets of drawings with lots of missing deminsions and absolutely no hints or help plus Bloody British fastners called for which I had no idea of what they were. So I changed to common sizes like 2-56, 4-40 and did the best I could.
