Thanks.

This was a nice video. I hope i can go to Anson Engine Museum one day.

I have many films at my page to.

Thank you, it's a great museum and well worth visiting. I went for a weekend and there is plenty to see.

Why the one different floofloo valve? Did you have to remake one?

[steamwally]

Not quite sure what you mean by "floo floo" valve but I think you mean crankcase breather valves!?

In which case, the one different valve has simply had it's cover removed to show the breather operating, more interesting to the onlooker.

Cheers.

@steamwally I think it would be more accurate to call them combustion air admission valves? They're really not crankcase breathers in the proper sense. Are they simply a steel disc with a spring or springs behind them?

Best regards.

4-cylinder hot-bulb engine...I didn't think they made them with more than two.

[steamwally]

At one time, Hornsby's made a 8 cylinder, fourstroke, hot bulb semi diesel. Needless to say it was too complicated for it's own good, but impressive power and smoothness!

@steamwally I've seen what I think is an eight cylinder hot bulb mine power engine a few hundred miles from here. Stands about 8-9 feet tall. I'll have to get a picture of the maker's plate.

Ah right, that sounds interesting, I'd love to see a photo of that.
