Nice little engine. Interesting how these German engines are very similar in design. Thanks for sharing Alan. Cheers Nobby

[@RetroSteamTech]

Hi Nobby. A lot of the German model steam engine manufacturers were located in the same area of Germany, Nuremberg. So I guess they influenced each other when it came to design. Cheers, Alan.

Hi Alan. Came up well. Strangeness with the flywheel inclusions. It may have been centrifugally cast, which could explain why the original surface was OK, even though the inner is flawed. Interesting. Cheers Rob

[@RetroSteamTech]

Hi Rob. Thanks, I didn't think it turned out too bad. I never considered spin casting, I did think that maybe Mamod out sourced the production of parts like the flywheels. Assuming no one ever does what I did then you would never know. Cheers, Alan.

Alan there's just 'something' about uprights in my opinion - Cheers Jim

[@RetroSteamTech]

Hi Jim, yes I agree, they have a certain elegant quality about them. Cheers, Alan.
