Hi Kevin,

That's in the gap in my collection. Can you post a photo to inspire us?

sorry cannot help with colour scheme, but hope someone can help with my problem. I built a V4 version of the Quayle 25 25 engine some years ago and it works fine , but my problem is I am now building a twin for my brother and have lost magazine 4046, so do not have the final article on valve gear and timing. Can someone sell me a copy of the magazine or supply me with a photocopy of the final article so I can finish my twin?

Hi Kevin,

Not used the tube yet, I'm afraid. Seems best for modest pressure, about 30psi, so I might make a marine boiler for a Clyde Puffer with it.

That's a bit of a bruiser of an engine Kevin! Could be up to powering a small full-size boat!

I'd go for black and maroon myself, rather than the usual green.
