Ottawa model engines

[rodue]

I just completed two 7/16 scale models of a 1-1/2 HP rare Ottawa engine.
I had them cast using my patterns. The head, cylinder, and fly wheels are cast in iron, the remaining parts I cast in Brass and aluminum. For a total of three engines. I am not sure I will complete the 3 rd. The ignition system is a buzz coil

Beautiful engines indeed. Who did the casting for you? Do you have a " one off" foundry near you or did you send the patterns off to be cast.

Oops! Disregard the second part. I just saw your post on metal casting.

I sent my patterns to Martin models in Portland Or. he used a foundry there, it wasn't fast it took 5 months to get them and they were not cheep.
But they did a good job and machine with no problem.
Thanks for the interest.
