amazing! i am a huge admirerer (epic typo) i should be getting the barstock kit for the liney thimble similar to the rocker engine u built but i have to asy this is truely amazing great job two thumbs up !
I greatly appreciate this. since I do not have the time I rely on other people making these kinds of things so I can dream of when I can have time to make model engines and such
I made this engine a fair while ago, and it was completed in about 5 hours. So finding the time to make engines isn't all that difficult, even a complicated type will only usually take a couple of weeks.
This engine is in fact based on the port timing of the 'Jenny Wren', a design by Tubal Cain (Tom Walshaw).
It is just a standard single acting oscillating engine.
It was made for a bit of light relief and took less than a day. The crankshaft is in fact one piece, machined from the solid.
The hardest part was in fact getting the air supply to the engine, I eventually used a very small syringe needle as the inlet pipe. Everything is silver soldered, not soft soldered together.

I give you all the credit for doing something that small.

Have you tried it under steam?
johnofbristol 2 years ago
Yes it has been steamed, but only the once. I burned my fingers trying to hold it.
It didn't run too well, the silicon pipe caused a bit of a restriction.
