I would love to have a small old hit n miss engine, dont see many around here at all.
I have plans for a make n break marine engine, lots of iron casting work to build it though. maybe sometime in the distant future

Remember, projects are a lot like rabbits, they tend to multiply when you try to put two together... very nice XL! I gotta get my butt in gear on the multiple projects I have going at once.

If it ain't broken or substandard I don't own it.

I like that design. Does the boiler have tubes in it for the heat, or just the pipe up the center? Would you happen to have a sketch or some plans for that? You guys are going to get me into steam yet. That's all I need, another project. yes i have the plans for a similar engine. the author states that the base and flywheel are the hardest parts. lol you will need a lathe tho......sorry i forgot yes you have one !! its a good size lathe for doing fly wheels. (you know they are worth $100 ea once machined!)these cost me $4 the lot but to be worth anything they have to be machined up!

XL are you going to try and reproduce the whole thing? engine and boiler?
It would be pretty neat if you did
