River Queen

[mzetati]

Finally, I brought to completion my third engine. Or rather say 'the third engine I started building', as there are now six up an running.
From now on I'll number my engines upon completion, to avoid gaps in the sequence.
Next? Not sure, yet ...and it may take months before I get to a decision.

Nice looking model Marcello! So what is the relationship of the model to the name River Queen? Just curious.

Nicely done, Marcello. I like your solution for connecting the valve body to the cylinder. Doing it as shown on the plans is virtually impossible.

Nice build one of the many on my to do list.
For those not familiar with this plan set it is available here:

IIRC printed in the 1970s by the Edestall company designed to be made on a unimat. the designer was James Senf.
The flyer /plan set dubs it the" River Queen" it is a basic launch engine.

Thanks for that info Tin. Guess its just one I hadn't heard of before even though the design is familiar.
