I got it to run for a few seconds. It's going to take some fine tuning to get it to run right. Sure sounded good.

Hi Chuck


Man oh Man this is just a great engine, I too have the article from HSM, but I haven't got the guts to begin such project.

Your showoff has inspired me and I believe I'm a little closer to have a go.

That IS home machining artistry!
Sweet Engine to say the least!

[chuck foster]

does any on have the plans for this snow engine or know were to get them?

i would like to start building one, it looks like a big project but when it is done it will have been worth the effort.

mr rhoades:
you have one very very nice looking engine and it runs very nice as well.
how many hours do you think you have in this engine and are there any problems with the drawings?

thanks
chuck foster

The Snow was in the Home Shop Machinist magazine. I don't recall the issues (multi-part series), but you could look it up. Amazing model, really.

There is a Yahoo Group for people building them: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Snowtandemengine/

Best,
