locost7018 Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 Finally a motor that will fit in my tiny motor compartment!!!. I don't know about the boiler though. Cool. Russ
ottocycle Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 Very cool. I went to a model engineering show a few years ago in York PA where they had model steam and I/C engines. At lunchtime they opened the back doors and a few guys started up a series of scale I/C engines including an Offenhauser $ cyl., a 9 cyl. radial and a supercharged 6 cyl.Lycoming. Absoloutly amazing. Model steam is big in the UK. Guys build large scale steam trains that run on tracks pulling carriages with the operator sitting on a "Saddle" over the train operating the controls. I remember them from the days before CNC when each part was milled or turned by hand. I have no idea whet they are doing nowadays with digital technology but I bet it is awesome. Dermot.
GBOLT Posted July 18, 2011 Author Posted July 18, 2011 I like the mechanical nature of the the model. I think that is why I enjoy the Seven so much, it is very basic.
