Overcrank

[don-tucker]

This is my version of Stew's and Les Moore's Overcrank,minus the large flywheel and govener.I shall make an angle valve for the top of the steam chest.
I was a joy to make and something different,now its back to my skeleton clock.

That is a very nice engine. It prompted me to go looking for for the plans and put them right on top of the to-do pile.

Thank You for the inspiration.

Cheers,

Interesting engine Don. It appears as if the "connecting rods" are a pair of crossarms connecting long rods, much like the arrangement in a Coombes Mine or Table engine but in a horizontal configuration. Is that right?

Cheers,
Phil

Yes Don the video shows the movement nicely, thanks. Very high coolness factor on this engine. I'd also be interested in plans

Cheers,

Thanks Don. I have a couple of other things to get out of the way and then I will likely give it a go.

Cheers,
