how about a reup of those videos? or heck a new video of it running like a top!
the facebook videos no longer work, how about youtube?

Hi Mat
After the Rattler was done, I had problems with Yahoo and Flickr, as a result I am unable to maintain my "sows ear" and "Rattler" builds from Flickr but I will either see if I can find some videos or make another one soon.
The "Rattler" remains one of my favorite Engines and to the best of my knowledge was the second ever built.

Did the plans ever get completed for this engine?

Cheers,

Hi Tom
I have not heard from him for a while but "Dave G" intended to sell the "Rattler" plans.
One thing that has always impressed me about this Engine is how easy it starts and runs. Its uniqueness is another big plus. It has a sound like nothing else Ive ever seen, give him a yell, its a nice Engine.

Hi Pete,

I did send Dave an email a few days ago, but have not had a reply. I will be patient.

Cheers,

Tom
