Hello Maury,

Wonderful work on the Swan, congratulations on completing such a unique and beautiful engine. Many, many thanks for posting your progress. Especially, the development of your patterns which was very informative. I will look forward to seeing the engine at N.A.M.E.S. and meeting you in person.

Are you planning to bring your Monarch Corliss engine with you? I would love to get some pictures of it.

Thanks again for all of your efforts. Well done!

Regards,
Mike

Guys, thanks for the kind words, and thanks to those who participated in this thread. THere is still some work to do, another modeler is building with these castings also, and will be working on the hot tube version while I get the spark version running properly. I have neglected too many household chores for way too long while building this model, so I will probably have to set the model aside until after I return from the NAMES show.

I also plan to make videos of this (and others) of my engines, but I have a hump to get over. I can capture the video and know how to post it, but I have not learned how to edit it. Anyone have ideas/help along those lines?

Chuck, I probably won't be able to make it to the show-N-tell, but maybe I can have an open shop sometime this summer.
