    some distance.(drip Gas/white gas?)

    @stevenps49 I only made sufficient drawings and sketches to enable me to make the engine. They would need a lot of work to enable others to build from them but I have considered doing this and making casting sets.There is a lot of work involved in producing them though and I don’t know if anyone would want to pay a realistic price.

    Love the sound and motion of this engine. Would you make the plans available for purchase?
    Thanks for sharing!

    @seelder Its the backlash of the gears, the engine is running with no load.. If there was a pump connected to it, it would be much quieter

    @gwheyduke Its greensand not Petrobond. Yes all castings are aluminium.Cylinders have cast iron liners, all roatating parts are bushed.

    Very nice work! Are you using Petro bond (oil) sand for your castings? Are all of your castings aluminium?

    @fairyheli2 Not quite. The shape of the cam means the engine can only fire every 8 stokes instead of the normal 4. Additionaly there is a govenor which reduces the number of fire strokes further.

    Excellent job! Could not tell this from the real thing if you weren’t told! Selling a casting kit for that would make big money…

    A work of art and function!

    No reason why a working model could not be made.
    You would probable need access to the full size engine though to get the dimentions.
